When I look in the mirror

Staring back at me is not myself

The girl that looks back at me is torn

Broken into a thousand pieces

She’s hurt,abandoned,her wounds were reopened

And she is me,but the me I’ve hidden for a while

~Kayla Lee/Jakayla Ledbetter

I finished my night routine and yawned,I had a habit of looking into the mirror for hours,not because I’m beautiful,but because my mirror shows my hidden,pushed faults.The girl in the mirror was me,but it showed my covered bruises,like how my dad left,her heart was bleeding.When her mom married someone else,her heart raged,and caught fire,when her mom had another kid,her heart was healed for a bit,but when her mom neglected her to take care of her baby brother,the sparkle in her eyes was gone,when she starved herself,she got skinnier,she started 6th grade,the cuts on her legs deepened,when her dad was shot,a hold formed in her heart,but she smiled because she thought.”No one should feel the pain I did,So I’ll make others happy” but did it really help?Slowly dad by dad pieces of the girl disappeared,until when I looked in the mirror,there was no reflection,and slowly,no one saw me,I sad calmly as I watched my funeral,Everyone cried but I didn’t get why.
