Mirror mirror on the wall
Why do you hate me most of all
Here I am standing there
Nothing but bones skin and hair

“No one will ever love you!” you shout at me
Oh how I wish I could just be free,
Free from your constant torture, not so mild
Scolding me, as a mother does her child

Mirror mirror above my bed
Why won’t you leave my head
kicking, screaming, begging for release
Your bitter-sweet torment will never cease

There are a trillion stars above
That would still shine without giving up
So what would you instead suggest
As I hold this wretched knife against my chest

Mirror Mirror on the wall
I have defeated you once and for all
You no longer haunt me,
For I am finally free

This piece was inspired by my personal and ongoing experience with anorexia. I hope all who read this will come to realize the severity of this issue, and also for some to relate no matter what you've struggled with.
