We're bored to death in heaven
And all alone in hell
We only want to be ourselves

"Mirror mirror on the wall whose the fucking fairest of them all," I mumbled  staring at my reflection in the dusty and finger smudged mirror.

The creature that stared back at me, wasn't who I wanted to be.
Flat, boring brown hair looked bland against my naturally tanned skin, my hazel eyes were grey in comparison to the sun, my plum lips a pale pink covered in lipgloss and dark bags sat under my warn out face.

My fist bawled beside me, tears threatened to spill. I screamed at myself. At the creature in the mirror. It wasn't who I wanted to be. I felt and probably looked fat, I was short, I had a terrible attitude about myself and the world.

I screamed some more, picking up my drawing book and all my school books.

The books fluttered and fell apart as I threw it at the mirror. I grabbed everything I own smashing it to the floor before I collapsed on my bed, tears streaming out like a waterfall.

I'd never be good enough.....

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

I tapped my pen in frustration against the ugly wooden surface. Staring at the booklet in front of me. My mind as blank as a white wall. It was the end of year exams, and I hadn't learnt nor studied. I felt pretty stupid.

I glanced up at the clock on the wall. Watching the second hand tick by. Waiting for the time to flip over to 12:30, where I could leave from this torture.The scribbles on my pages meant nothing to the test but well I don't really know my shit and I had an hour to kill.

Finally on the last few seconds the teacher announced we could pack up and leave.

Grabbing my pencil case and locating my phone I grabbed it and rushed out, grabbing my bag as well.

I hurried past the groups of my peers, gossiping and laughing with their fakeness, pushing through the bathroom doors I hurried dumping my bag in a corner. I stood staring in the mirror, a pounding headache, stress on my shoulders. I stood there staring at myself, my tired, warn out face, the scars, the pain; you could see it all.

The memories of last night flooded back to mind and I grimaced, guilt and sadness flooded through me.

I took a deep breath, splashing water on my face and with a huff I turned around and faced the world again.

Finally the final hours of Hell flashed by. But the paths under my feet were leading me to my own personal hell.

Unlocking Pushing open the heavy front door, I made my way quietly inside, thankful no one was home and hurried down to my bedroom and shut my door. Dumping down my bag I let out a sigh of relief, my posters welcomed me, especial my black veil brides feature wall. These posters are family.
