She stares at the looking glass, exhausted.

And what does she see?

She sees a girl.

A stranger.

A girl with tired and swollen eyes.

               with dark circles under her eyes.

A girl with thighs too large and chests too small.

               with collarbones that are too big, with no curves on her body.

A girl with one too many scars on her pale skin.

She stares at the looking glass.

And what does she see?

A girl who is sick and tired of living.

She wants her reflection to go away, to disappear forever.

But deep down, she knows.

She knows it will haunt her endlessly.

She stares at the looking glass.

And what does she see?

Her reflection staring back at her.

The girl she doesn't want to be.
