1. Mirror Mirror 

I don’t see what you see.

I feel insecure. 

When I look in the mirror, 

I’m numb. 

It’s not bad, 

But certainly not good. 

Will I ever feel confident? 

I’m sad,

Gripping my fat.

Man, it sucks.

My insides squirm, 

I’m uncomfortable. 

In my prime, 

During my lows, 

Loving body 

I can’t… 

2. Trapped 

I’m trapped in a body 

That is not my own 

Hatred flows through its veins 

Sadness through its arteries 

Its heart pumps in disgust 

And each capillary is filled with hurt I breathe in air 

But this body turns it into tar 

I was not meant to look 

Like this… 

The was not supposed to be MY body These hands are not mine 

This face is someone else’s 

This is not me….. 

Please 

Please 

Fix me… 

3. Empty/Numb 

I feel empty. 

Somehow drained 

My life is passing by & everything is blurred It’s like I’m looking down on myself Through broken glass, 

And I don’t even recognize myself. Hours drag on into infinity.

Sleep, go to school, eat, repeat. Every day I don’t want this anymore 

To feel numb. As if immersed in emptiness The only thing that makes me feel better In the hope that it will be over someday. Maybe sooner than I thought. 

4. Beauty Hurts 

Not any words 

Can heal the wounds you caused 

Not any passing time 

Can release me 

You took my world 

To blend with beauty 

Beauty was sorrow 

Beauty was pain 

Beauty is not always beauty. 

We pay for our life,

For a moment of it. 

5. Prison 

The prison of the mind 

A cell, darkness, confined, 

So many souls, filled with dread 

Claimed, shackled to the thoughts in the head 

6. No Understanding 

You do not understand 

The fluids coursing through this body

Are tainted by oil 

The weakest spark could set 

These hazardous bones ablaze 

Devouring my frame 

Until I return to the dust 

From this I came 

And I always carry a match
