Hello, my reflective enemy
Whispering to come see

See how different I look from the rest
Put my self-esteem to the test

Look at my insecurities and flaws
Mirrors tear me to shreds with vicious claws

“Just look how big you are”
“You’re never gonna go far”

“You shouldn’t even try
“Oh, boohoo don’t you dare cry”

“Imagine what others think”
“Get the suicide drink”

Sleepless nights and a knife at hand
blood appearing, I can’t take a stand

Hide it, don’t let anyone know
Just smile as sanity is let go

But pleas fall on deaf ears
For, even people who see, are blind to the tears

In the end, it’s me and the mirror
And my choice doesn’t become clearer

Pulling me in
My mind will always win

Because this is a fight against me and my enemy
The terrible mirrors who say to come see
