What do I see in the mirror, you ask,
Do you really want to know?
Yes, you say.
Well okay.
I see no one.
A faceless girl,
I see nothing.
I�m alone in this world.
I�m not loved.
I�m not liked.
I�m not pretty.
I have no life.
So mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me why I�m here at all.

So far today
I�ve been ok.
I haven�t felt sad,
Or ashamed
Or mad
A boy I like even smiled at me.
Today has been good.
But later I know
That I�ll sit in my room
And cry.
I don�t know why.
The tears just fall.
Like raindrops on a summer day.
Stealing the heat
As they fall at my feet.

little girls in sun dresses
running on the beach.
Swimming in cool water.
Making castles in the sand.
�I cant wait till I grow up�
that was what we said.
�im gonna be a singer�
�well im gonna be a movie star�
we thought for sure we�d go far.
We�d laugh and try to imagine love.
We�d giggle and discuss our future
We�d whisper when we saw a boy
�I cant wait till I grow up�
that was what we said.
Now I�m almost there
And it seems growing up
has driven us apart.
We used to be like sisters.
Now I don�t know you.
Sure we still run and laugh on the beach.
But you and I aren�t able to reach
The real us.
We cant be the same little girls that we were.
I guess were all grown up now.
But now we say�
�I wish I could be young again�
that�s when we were
little girls in sun dresses
running down the beach.

I have this rage,
That swells up like a storm.
It takes control of me
And makes my insides squirm.
It makes me feel so hollow
And useless and untrue.
It makes me feel so empty
Until I think of you.

Once I read a poem
That moved me deep inside.
Once I read a story
That nearly made me cry.
Once you opened up your heart
And tried to let me in.
Once was just enough for you,
So you never did again.
