mirror

I look in the mirror and what do I see
A crumpled, broken girl looking back at me
In her life’s been so much pain
Yet somehow, she finds the strength to remain
In her eyes, the sadness shows
Her former self, no one knows
Her beaten body broken and bruised
For she has been so used
Her life has become so much
Longing for that single touch
To know that someone is there
Someone who will really care
In no one does she trust
But keep holding on, she must
Her body she despises
Feels like she is wearing so many disguises
Faking that smile upon her face
So no one can know her disgrace
The self-hatred so deep
All she wants to do is weep
So much anger and so much fear
To her, everything is no longer clear
The guilt, the shame
And all of the blame
She no longer wants to feel so much pain
feels like she is going insane
Though this girl might be bent, she refuses to break
Another statistic she will not make
Knowing that what she is doing is so wrong
Feels like she doesn’t belong
The starving, the bingeing, the purging and pain
Yet some things still remain
Her faith will not be broken
For in Him, she knows she can be awoken
She just has to trust in God
For he knows of all the paths she has trod
She hopes someday the mirror will reflect her true heart
And no longer be falling apart
This girl will forever stand strong
And prove everybody wrong!!
