she looks into the mirror
picking out her flaws
tearing herself apart
all because of one word

her stomach is too big
her waist isn't small
she walks away from her mirror
sliding down the wall

she looks into the mirror
her eyes slightly glazed over
empty and desperate
all because of one person

she's a huge nerd
she needs to change
she turns away from the mirror
and picks up the blade

she looks into the mirror
broken and hollow
life falling to pieces
all because of the pressure

she's a waste of space
and such a disgrace
she looks at her scarred wrists
tears streaming down her face

she looks into the mirror
her eyes filled with tears
her daughter is gone
all because of the words

she unfolds the note
battered and worn
a tear lands on the page
her heart shattered and torn

she looks into the mirror
full of guilt and rage
she killed a girl
all because of what she said

she wasn't a disgrace
she was beautiful
in her own special way
that was hard to say

she looks into the mirror
gun pressed to her head
she pulls the trigger
another person dead
