Sticks and stones may break my bones but words are what will kill me

~~~

You kill all the caterpillars and wonder why there are no butterflies

~~~

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall,

I just want to be thin, pretty, and tall.

Mirror, Mirror, if I change my hair,

Maybe someone will start to care?

Mirror, Mirror, if I starve myself,

At least I'll be beautiful, forget my health.

Mirror, Mirror, if I cut my wrist,

Will it feel like I exist?

Mirror, Mirror, don't you see?

What you show is ruining me....

~~~

We carry these things inside us

That no one else can see

They hold us down like anchors

And drown us out at sea

~~~
