Girl in the Mirror

I look in the mirror 

She looks back at me 

Only she is me 

Just not the me I recognize

Not the me in the pictures

With makeup and happy eyes

The me in the mirror has dark sunken eyes 

She looks tired and in pain 

I reach out for her

I can tell she feels lonely 

She's never had someone to properly care for her  

As I back away I notice the scars from her skin growing 

She looked bigger

I grabbed at my flabs 

I look down at my own stretched out skin 

I don't want to be the girl in the mirror anymore

Tears fall down my face 

I yell not understanding why I look like this 

One meal a day if that

Either sleeping all day or no sleep at all 

The girl in the mirror has been pointed at and made fun of 

I see two different versions of me

The one you see 

And the real me 

The scars growing on what used to be beautiful and firm skin hurt 

I wanted to be the girl in the pictures 

But I'm stuck yelling at the girl in the mirror
