Poem on a Young Girl – Mirror

Looking into the mirror
Do you see what I see? Seeing someone that looks just like me
Staring, looking back at me
Seeing, the ugliness that’s stuck to my skin
Looking into the mirror wishing my eye vision was clearer
Wondering why someone like me would have low self-esteem
Starving and crying myself to sleep, I need to stop thinking like this and get my mind cleaned
Being a beautiful, smart, successful woman was all I dreamed
Looking into the mirror
All I see is a young girl staring at me
With a look on her face that’s screaming WHY ME?
Always insecure about her weight, looks and height
Staring at the mirror made me mad because I couldn’t stand the sight
People always told me never low your self-esteem because it’s not right; I wondered how it felt to be one of those beautiful models life would be like
Looking into the mirror
Losing weight becoming skinny and getting dizzy
My mother always told me that I was pretty, but I wanted to be one of those beautiful smart girls running a big business in a city
But I that was only a dream because everything in life isn’t that easy
Looking in the mirror
As I begin looking down at arms where I had cut myself to deep letting my blood leak
I’m starting to go insane
As my blood flowing out my vein
Wondering how long can I take this pain while my blood flows down the drain
Looking in the mirror
At the end of the day this girl that’s in the mirror
Continues to cry herself to sleep because she feels like she will never be that beautiful, smart, successful women she wants to be
Looking in the mirror I just want to be happy as I can be
