"Mirror Mirror"
Mirror mirror,
On my wall,
Why the fuck can't I be tall?
Mirror mirror,
Tall and flat,
Why am I so damn fat?
Mirror mirror,
Let me see,
Everything wrong with my body.
Hair too big,
Stature too small
All I hear are their rude calls
Way too short.
Why can't I reach?
Society towers over me.
Way too big.
"Why won't she lose weight."
"Look at what's all on her plate."
Stretch marks
Cellulite
Freckles
And fat
Start to make one's mind attack.
I can't escape
This hollow lie.
All I do
Is say "I'm fine."
Make believe and play pretend
Can't let them know I want to end.
They say be strong,
Yet cut me down.
I cannot win
With their cruel frowns.
The judge at all
Though out of control
They make it seem
So wrong and awful.
To be myself
I must try
To ignore
All their cries
The taunts and screams
Which run through my head.
Make me wish that I were dead.
