Small mirror- my only friend,

Only you see past all of this pretend.

Cheap chap stick- the only thing that's ever touched my lips.

Only you feel the forced muscles, tugged at tips.

Empty eyes- my only betrayal.

You slip out unwanted emotions that can tell my sad tale.

Shaky hands- you sadden me most.

You show me my weak side, the emotion I've tried to bury the most.

Fake smile- you always remain,

Laying on my face, no spark, just plain.

Small mirror- my old friend,

Please give me the strength,

to do it again...
