Title: Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

Who is the biggest mistake of them all?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

Who will catch me when I fall?

I'm scared, and I'm down,

And there's no one there when I look around.

My world is too hectic, too much chaos, too much sound.

I mess up again, the queen of mistakes adjusting her crown.

Help me, please, I know you're there.

Please prove to me that you care.

I'm tired of wondering where

You are while I'm in too much pain to bare.

Where are you?

I need you

Do you hate me? I feel like you do.

But it's okay; I hate myself, too.

Please tell me the answers, mirror.

I'm tired of shedding tear after tear

And feeling nothing but fear

Every single day for so many years.

I'm crying on the floor.

I'm not sure how long I've been here for.

The voices in my head rage and roar.

I'm stuck on the ground when all I want to do is soar.

I try to sing, but I have no song.

Have I been alone all along?

Am I wrong

To want to give up because I am not strong?

I do not have brains, nor brawn

The storm is harsh; the darkness is scary, and I'm still waiting for dawn.

All the stars are gone.

Someone please leave the light on.

At the end of the day,

In my bed, I lay,

I want to tell you, if I may,

But if I say what I feel… would you still stay?

Mirror, please answer me!

Family, friends, don't you see?

I am crying out for you as I fall to my knees

Crying out for help as I drown in the overwhelming waves of the sea.
