My life's Mirror
It’s like she’s trapped in a fun house

360* mirror where ever she turns

Each showing a blurred reflection

A fake image thought to be her

Words scrawled across the glass

Telling her who she is

Words from both her present and past

*****, ****, *****

Stick to her pale freckled skin

Like tattoos that will never fade in

She pounds against the cold glass

Trying to see past the lies and confusion

While a loud mocking voice laughs

With every hit upon the glass

Another word is added to the pack

She finally falls, slumped against the mirror

Cool to her touch, her tears streak it

She stays down now, to weak to get back up

Her life built upon lies

Like a dream from which she can not wake

There on the floor she’ll stay

Until one day somebody may come

Clean the slate, pick her back up

Erase some of the pain

Help her start over with no lies and no walls

Just a good friend who was secretly there through it all

Chipping away at the outside of the glass trying to break through

Hoping each breath her friend takes won’t be her last
