StillStrong

You look in the mirror
And throw your hair back
Look at what you've got
And not what you lack.
Wipe one tear away
And then two and then three
Look away for a second so you don't have to see.
Wash the makeup away
And admire your eyes
See the pain and the sadness
And the fear and the lies.
Hide all of the bruises and bandage the wounds
Take a pill for the heartbreak that woefully blooms.
Smash the mirror that hurt you for so damn long
And remember he told you, "please darling, stay strong."
