The monster inside my head...

The girl I see in the mirror.

Hey guys before I get started I just wanted to say the following poem is from shanaofficial , girl in the mirror. (the passage with the quotation marks around it. "") 

One day last year my class was learning about bullying, depressing, self harm and suicide.

"Open your text books to page 54 titled The girls I see in the mirror." the teacher said.

In my head I read:

"There's as girl in the mirror, she's always staring back. Her arms are stained red, and her eyes are painted black. In her hand she holds a blade, in the other she holds a key. Its a key to my chains, this girls got a hold on me. Sometimes I borrow her blade, for all the pain; I bleed. the metal cutting into my skin, I find sometimes its all I need."

I begin to tear up. I raise my hand.

"can I be excused?" I ask politely. before she has time to answer I'm already half way out the door.

I hear snickers and giggles as I leave the room. I know they know why I'm leaving, but they don't know how it feels.
