Mirror
I look at the girl standing in front of me
And I take in her every detail
I tell her she's ugly
Her short hair is too dry
Her brown eyes are too plain
And her face is dotted with acne

I tell her she's too fat
That she needs to stop eating
That she needs to work out
And she needs to look like other girls

I watch her begin to cry
The tears flowing like rivers
Cascading down her face
She looks even worse when she cries

I whisper the words I know will shatter her heart

You're ugly
You're fat
You're not enough

Then I stop myself
Blink the tears back
And turn away from the mirror
