The Girl in the Mirror
Eery quiet sliced the paralyzing silence
 The blinding lights
 Searing like fire
 Covered my eyes like a blanket of sun
 A light so vigorously bright
 That's it's dark
 As dark as
 You
 It's funny
 My memories reflect stories of hell
 Like standing on a pedestal 
 In a sea of children 
 An ocean of words
 Of pointing fingers
 Of names
 As tears run down my stained cheeks
 Stained from the scars 
 Of the lies you told
 Adding to the scars
 Of the memories
 Burned 
 Like a picture in a fire
 Forgotten 
 Yet always there
 In the back of my mind
 Reminding me
 Of the yesterday i desperately tried to turn from
 It's funny
 The childish fears
 Burned away along with yesterday's lies
 Followed me to the edge of the cliff
 Where I stand 
 And peer to the horizon 
 What will tomorrow bring?
 What good can I do in this world?
 Where do I belong?
 It's funny
 The sad brown eyes I stare at in the mirror
 Mimicking my movements
 Crying like me
 Screaming like me
 Bleeding like me
 Is, in fact not me
 Just a replica of the girl I am
 Of the woman I once was
 For the shattering scream emitting from my lips
 Leaking from the cracks of my broken heart
 Shatters the me in the glass
 Maybe the glass is me
 Shattered, shattered
 Broken, torn and tattered
 Maybe I am the girl in the mirror
 and the girl in the mirror is me
 For I am not there
 And neither is she
 it's funny
