The girl in the mirror

I refuse to look at her
Why pay attention to a stranger
I was taught better; stranger danger

I don't recognise the girl standing before me
Her swollen and glassy eyes reveal an odd sense of grace

Maybe that's why I keep seeing her against my will
To witness a beauty so rare  unlike my own
So rare you see it only through tears
Tears that flow down her cheeks and wash the painted happiness
The way it all becomes stripped down and her soul is naked
There's something about that puffy faced girl...
Breathtakingly eerie
