6 Years Old
Pigtails, Bows and Skirts
Made my life content
and All things pink
was my money well spent
Oh Mirror, Mirror, why am I
Not Cute yet?
10 Years Old
Pony Tails And Barrettes.
Camo Pants and Cassettes
Hiding my bloody scalp in
Baseball caps.
Oh Mirror, Mirror, why am I
Not Cool yet?
13 Years Old
Lighters to skin
No one knows
The pain within
I guess that's a prop
Of everyone knowing you smoke
Where was Mary Jane then?
My heart needed a toke
scraping pennies for joes
Wishin my family wasn't so broke
Oh mirror, mirror, why am I
Empty?
14 Years Old
Dyed hair, all laid flat.
Living in a sweatshirt.
Loads of black
And eyeliner
Makes me
feel Fuller
Oh Mirror, Mirror, Why am I
fat?
15 years old
No more skirts
no more bows
My life is filled
with baggy clothes
No more burning,
no more picking
reality isn't sticking.
Joes
Pills
And Maryjane
Can you quiet
The rain?
Mary Jane
So sweet
So funny
Mary Jane
My only friend
Mary Jane
Never ends
Oh Mirror, Mirror
Will you love me like Mary Jane?
