POETRY

MIRROR, MIRROR

MIRROR, MIRROR

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Tell me why do I look like that

Each time I stare at myself?

Tell me why does my reflection hate me

And make me feel unworthy?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I used to wonder around this halls

Never thinking twice about the size of my legs

Or the way my tummy felt

Tell me why did we have to start now

And why did those thoughts settled in my skin somehow?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Don't you dare ask me who's the prettiest of them all

Because I don't think the answer would be me

And those thighs are something I don't want to see.

Mirror, mirror on the floor

Why did you have to show my body to them all

Now you lie there in broken peices

And I have no idea how to glue them back together

Because I still need a reason

Not to surrender.
