she stands at the body mirror she got for her 16 birthday
she just looks at herself

for days that is all she did
for weeks she stood at this mirror

a month passes
we notice something different about her

she has lost a few pounds
we all assume she is getting in shape

3 months pass
she is very weak and thin

we get worried
she hasn't eatin' in days

everyday she stands at her mirror
looking for more flaws

the mirror will always whipper a lie to the young girl
"your fat","you'll never be beautiful"

she believes these fibs the ugly mirror will tell
she dwells on the words it will say

one day it tells her something new
"making yourself bleed is the answer that will wash you slate clean"

on cut two cut 3 cut four
dripping from her writs to the floor

a small tear falls from her eye
she lays back as her eyes begin to roll

she takes the breathe that was her last
her mirror has finally destroyed this young girl
