Mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, Mirror, upon my wall,
Everytime I look into you I start to ball.
Why am I the first to always fall?
Mirror, mirror, what would happend if I were to starve myself?
Would anyone even notice my poor health?
I feel like a fallen shelf.
Mirror, mirror, were you to care if I cut my wrist?
My hands form into fists,
Whilst the blood pours down my wrist in a twist.
Mirror, mirror, after all these years don't you see?
What you show, is ruining me.
I cry out my silent plea.
For quite a while, it had watched her cry,
so the mirror decided to reply:
"You lock yourself inside of a broken soul,
but one day I promise,
you could lose control."
"All the misery you feel,
It is not true.
It is all found inside of you."
