There's a girl in my mirror.
There's a girl
My parents hate.
They told me she's worthless,
And I told her this.
She didn't utter a word.
Tears rolled down her face,
One after another,
As if she was carrying
An ocean inside her.
An ocean of grief.

Like daggers in my heart.
They break me, they tear me.
They pierce me, they shatter me.

As they watch me burn.

The bruises that covered my skin.
From the back of my neck,
To the end of my waistline.
