This is not about me

This is about someone I see everyday

She’s sad, depressed

Tearing over spilt milk

She’s a coward

Doesn’t speak against anyone else

She does as she’s told and never speaks up.

They don’t know her.

This girl disgusts me.

I hate her.

But I see her every day in the morning;

Staring at me threw the mirror.

This was a great work. I like how it starts out nice and simple; this isn't who the character is - but ends with the grand reveal which alters everything else you interpreted; she is what others see, and what the character sees when theylook in the mirror. Very clever trick. Keep writing!
