"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


She turns to face the mirror

The person that she is

She turns to face her reflection

And that alone brings tears

 

What she sees standing there

Is a girl who's all alone

With broken dreams, crushed hopes

And a shattered soul

 

She sees the face she finds so ugly

The nose that is too big

Her eyes that are too close together

Her head that needs a wig

 

She looks at heart that's torn apart

The faults of unrequited love

Love always, always hurts

Don't know why, but it does

 

She sees the mess that she is making

She sees the risk that she is taking

She sees her heart that's always breaking

She sees her fragile body shaking

 

She sees her ripped up interior

What has she done to herself?

She sees her scarred exterior

She sees that she needs help

 

She looks in the mirror

At everything she is

She sees a girl wanting nothing but

Love

 

She peers into her own tired eyes

She sees stress and depresson

Weighing her down

And the hurt, it follows her around

 

She turns away from the mirror

This person that she is

She wishes so desperately that

She'll see another girl next year
