The mirror is my enemy
it only tells me lies
shows me someone I don't know
in the place where I should be
The stranger has my face
but I know she isn't me
Her eyes hold too much hatred
and her skin is scarred
Her features are distorted
and any beauty she had is marred
I cannot say that I'm surprised
at this monster that I see
She is a product of my self loathing
a version of me no one else sees
She fills my head with venomous
traitorous thoughts
makes me doubt myself
She ruins my self image
threatens my mental health
I'm a coward, I am weak
I give her all the power
I never fight back
I just stand there, unarmed
defenseless against her attack
Maybe one day I'll be stronger
One day I'll win
One day I'll destroy her
and start the love the heart within
