Whenever I look in the mirror I cry
I think of the times I looked in it
And had makeup smeared across my face from crying
I think of when i would look down at the reflection of my arms and see where I had cut

Whenever I look in the mirror I wanna smash it
I think of all the memories of seeing all the bruises on my body in the reflection
From guys who used their fists to solve their problems
I also see the me when I used to not eat
And forced myself to throw up every time I was scared to gain a pound
On my anorexic body

When I look in the mirror I smile
Because I think of all i’ve overcome
My reflection is finally showing who I truly am
All I’ve worked hard at
My reflection is finally
Me
