I look in the mirror
And what do I see
This hideous creature
Staring back at me
I see all the things
That I would like to change
And hear in my head
All the cruel things you all have said
As the tears stream down my face
All the mean words
And hateful things
That have happened to me
Come rolling back to me
Can’t you see you are hurting me
Don’t you see how I have changed
I no longer smile like I did when you first met me
There’s an odd silence all around me
I look away from the mirror and shut off the light
Refusing to see my reflection staring back at me
I hate what I see
I just want it to stop
I will do anything to make the changes
That I see will make you like me
Then the insults will stop
I’ll be beautiful in your eyes again
