Broken Shards of Glass

by hello-world

Mirror, mirror on the wall I wrote a message on the bathroom stall. Black, blue, white, red, Who will care when I’m dead? Mirror, mirror on the wall I’m not the prettiest of them all. Short, tall, skinny, fat, Why should I care about all of that? Mirror, mirror on the wall I refuse to come at your beck and call. Disease, abuse, hunger, pain, There is nothing in it for me to gain. Mirror, mirror on the wall Who’s the prettiest of them all? Normal, average, simple, plain, Is there anyone out there in the rain? Mirror, mirror on the wall I’m not willing to take the fall. Born to lead, born to die, Why go if you’re not willing to try? Mirror, mirror on the wall Please tell me why I feel so small. I don’t stand out, I don’t fit in, I don’t feel right in my own skin. Come at me with your words and sorrows, But I will not be here when it comes to tomorrow. Mirror, mirror on the wall Now it’s time for me to stand tall.
