I stare in the mirror and I hate what I see There stands a girl smiling, but she isn’t me Who is this girl who I see her reflection? Not a scar, not a blemish, or any imperfection She has Brown Hair, Brown eyes, and Dark complexion That’s not the issue, that’s not the discretion She is strong. She is pretty. She’s brave I clearly see. But something is missing, this girl, she still is not me. I keep staring at her longer and longer, I know her inside and out, However, when i stare at her, something still feels left out She looks so beautiful wearing the dress, bow, and the heels But Inisde I want to ***** this doesn’t feel real The sun has now set and i'm Alone in the dark, This mirrors reflection feels like a dagger to the herat I've stood and pondered at this mirror all day I feel choked, and blocked and have a clogged airway In order to breath, I punch the glass and shout “Everyone seems so happy, why am I left out?” I look at my knuckles all covered in blood and bruised I’ve figured it out now, I’m not confused. Breaking the mirror make me look broken and shattered And that’s exactly the point, that’s exactly the matter I am broken, because the pieces don’t fit quite right She is me, but also she's not, that’s the problem, the problem in sight I ran down the stairs and I grabbed my scissors I didn’t show weakness, I wasn’t a quitter I chopped and I buzzed, and I threw all my hair on the floor This was the end of the battle, I have won the war The reason she was a stranger, Was the reason I had so much anger The reason I felt so wrong Was the reason I had to be so strong The reason I didn’t recognize the person looking back at me Was because she was he, and he wasn’t free But he was now, he had finally broke out He was loud, and very much alive, there was no doubt I stared at the mirror again with pieces missing all about This had taken 24 years, why did I block him out? I finally see, everything so clear and true He was so handsome, If only I had knew Broken and damaged ,Mirror Mirror, on my wall Dominic, that’s it, that is what I will be called

Mirror Mirror on my Wall
