The Truth Behind The Mirror.

She looks in the mirror with a blank expression,
She hates herself; it's a true confession.
When she smiles, it's very rare,
Because she's conscious and feels so bare.
All she sees is an ugly face,
When it's something any man would embrace.
She applies her mascara thick and black,
Only to show everyone her back.
She cries each night before going to bed,
Sometimes she wants to just drop dead.
Her long brown hair begins to unfold,
It falls down her back lifeless and cold.
She wants a normal life but she is just too upset,
Obviously no one said that she was beautiful yet.
The girl hated her body from head to toe,
But why she did I just don't know...
She had illusions and saw rolls of fat,
So scarcely ate. Once if that.
One day she went to the kitchen to end all the pain,
She cut herself so deep that she never spoke again.
But just before she did, she wrote a small note,
It's what she said before she died but written as a quote.
"mirror mirror on the wall,
If I can't be beautiful, I won't live at all."

Just some naive teenage girl writing poems with no confidence... O_o Ed sheeran, the hunger games, all time low, the midnight beast and other stuff is basically my life. Ps I'm sorry I'm not good at being sociable. :)

The Rain

Drip, drop, Drip, drop. The rain on my roof will not stop. Each tiny drop of rain, Makes me wince with horrid pain. The memory of you, Hurts my heart.

She Was Perfect

She is beautiful but she wont believe , Most times she wishes she couldnt breath. She is perfectly skinny but its not enough , Shes gave up food and trying to love.

Rotted From Within

Cut cut I cut my skin, My soul has rotted from within. I feel the blood come down my arm, I think about why I do this self harm. I wish I was different, I want to stop it.

God, I hate myself. I look in the mirror, and stare at myself in disgust. I look at the mascara under my eyes and down my cheeks. I look at my body and think how it will never be good enough.

-insert sad face-

It glints. The knife. It splints. The flesh. The feel brings scars anew. It sings. It bites. Turn out. The lights. A haunting fear, but who. Alone. In fear. Nobody. Is here.

Self Destruction

I'm in too deep to be reached this time, don't wade in to save me, you may drown in the river of my blood which is dripping from my wrists and trip over the fragments of my heart.

End

Who would have thought. Today would be the last. No more will there be. Only whatever awaits. In a lonely afterlife. No more sky. No more earth. No more sea. No more anything. The clouds are grey.
