Dressing Room Demon
The lights seem extra bright
Just like a spot light
As I stand alone
In the room
There are three of me
In one place
Moving in sync
But there is a forth presence
His hands trace up and down my arms
Sending chills down my spine
I turn to face him
But no one is there
Because I'm alone
Physically
He plays games in my mind
He's so real
I can feel him
Hear him
Almost see him
I stand alone
Completely exposed after trying a dress
The mirrors reflect me
Show me everything
His hands run over my body
Amplifying every flaw I have
Exposing my weaknesses
He destroys me
Tears me down
And leaves me for dead
I hold my breath
And bite my lip
To stop it from quivering
The tears can't come
Too many questions follow
Quickly I dress
But he still moves around me
In and out of my thoughts
He crushes the pillars of my mind
Slowly
Inflicting pain everywhere
He moves from me
To my boyfriend
Tearing at me
Telling me he doesn't love me
I'm too ugly
I'm fat
I'm pathetic
I can't block him out
Block out his sound
His voice
His words
They sound so real
So true
Sometimes I can't help but believe them
