Don't look into the mirror.

Watch her face crumple
watch her try to breathe
watch her cry

because of her pain
her fears
her insecurities

she whispers 'Don't look into the mirror.'

how is she to know
what is she to do
she's scared

as she looks into the mirror
as she tries to stop crying
she feels the breaking

the breaking of
yet another
part of her

she whispers 'Don't look into the mirror.'

she doesn't know where to go
feels like there's no where to turn
sadness and anger flowing in her veins

she tells herself 'make it work'
'Try it one more time'
but she's running out of time

she whispers 'Don't look into the mirror.'

decisions get harder
life gets faster
there's just too much for her to master

she wants to scream
to break the mirror that mocks her
to bring everything to the floor

she whispers 'Don't look into the mirror.'

breathing gets harder
lying gets easier
trying to erase her mistakes
but only making more

she puts her head in her hands
collects all of her pain
grits her teeth

she whispers 'Don't look into the mirror.'

She puts her pain deep, deep down
where it cant be found
where no one can see it

whipping her tears away
she looks into that mirror
and hates herself

she whispers 'Stop looking in the mirror.'

but she knows
its the only way
she'll make it

she whispers 'Stop looking in the mirror, you won't find it.'
