Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Will I stay big or will I get small?
Does counting the calories reduce my work efficiency?
Does running really hard mean my problems can't catch me?
Clothes Clothes on the bed,
Will you fit me with the weight I have shed?
Does this mean my tops will hang so baggy?
Does this mean I need a belt or two?
Shoes Shoes on the floor,
Will I need new ones that will make my feet sore?
Why don't you shine like you used to?
Why do the broken buckles stay on you?
Pens Pens on the desk,
Will you ever let me rest?
Why can't I write as much as I want to?
Why will your words effect my future?
Voices Voices in my ward,
Why do I hear you when I board?
Can you see my frail arms?
Can you feel my pokey ribs?
Food Food on my plate,
How do you expect me to eat this late?
Was the carrot slice not enough?
Was the water not good enough?
Doctor Doctor in my room,
Why do these cards say get well soon?
Am I sick?
Am I dying?
Heart Heart in my chest,
Why did you need to go into cardiac arrest?
Did my illness take my life?
Did my brain not put up a fight.
Body Body lying cold,
Did you ever want to get old?
Why do I lie in such a pretty dress?
Why did I cause such a mess?
End End drawing near,
How can you take me without any fear?
Do you really know if everything is okay?
Do you really know if it is the end?
