Mirror mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall

Do you ever tire of watching me fall

You play these games inside my head

You make me feel so repulsive I’d rather be dead. 

Mirror mirror on the wall

You bully me, put me down til I can barely crawl

You’ve caught me in a cycle of pressure, of failure and self hatred 

You trap me further in the world of anorexia you’ve created. 

Mirror mirror you hang there so innocently

Whispering remarks and sniggers so viciously 

You twist my vision, you blur my words

Mirror mirror you are my curse. 

Mirror mirror do you see what you do

You warp my reality 

This damage you reap you cannot undo

Mirror mirror you’re nothing but glass 

And yet the power you hold is so dangerously vast

Mirror mirror you make no sense 

You’ve stripped me of my confidence 

Everything you show me, more than just my reflection 

Its confirms my fears, my beliefs, it’s a warped deception 

Mirror mirror you narrate a story that goes beyond just an image

You started off so quiet and innocent, 

You’ve torn away more of my soul than I could have ever envisaged. 

Mirror mirror, why are you so cruel? 

Mirror mirror, why do you like to watch me fall? 

Mirror mirror you’ve entangled me in your web of criticism, self loathing and shame

Deep down I know that I’m worth more than what you show

So mirror mirror please, why won’t you let me go?
