Looking in the mirror

You look in the mirror

And what do you see?

A happy person

Smiling laughing

Hanging out with friends

Getting good grades at school

All good things, yes?

I look in the mirror

And what I see

Is a horrible reflection

Staring back at me.

She's ugly

And she's fat

And doesnt have many

Friends.

Sure, the ones she has

Claim to like her

But she doesnt believe them

Not really.

She thinks they just feel

Sorry for her.

And what she has to deal with.

You see, her home life

Is not common atall

She has 3 Autistic brothers

And 2 siblings

That aren't.

She's 'Unnormal'

And a bit of a freak.

Young carer

That's her life.

Yes, she see's her

'Friends' sometimes,

But not often

And when she does.

She spends the whole time

Thinking "Do you really like me?"

Or am I just kidding

Myself?

And as much as she

WANTS to believe

every word they say

she cant bring herself

to think that they just might

actually like her

accept her

and love her the way

she is.
