Poor girl never is truly satisfied By the grotesque figure that stares back at her Distorted features cut by the broken glass In the mirror That little crack in the corner That creeps it's way down like a spider Attacking her reflection In shame, she runs away Tears flowing easily As she purges her problems repeatedly Little naive girl never is truly gladdened Grabbing at her skin And pulling it Stretching it To look the way she sees herself She looks up for a moment And the beautiful child Who once had life in her cheeks and the world in her hands Is absent A stranger stares back her With aย ย gaunt looking physique All color drained from her face Her skin blotchy Her hair thinning Dull eyes deep in their sockets Highlighted by dark circles All of this seems to be no problem Throw on some makeup Braid your hair And that's taken care of But aching neck down is all disappointment to her After every scanty meal She sneaks off To cleanse herself of imperfections surprised that no one has yet to notice She desperately runs to the dreaded mirror Where she sees no difference And this sad little girl beats herself out of frustration Bashing her brittle bones Poor girl, be satisfied
