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."
