I am changing so fast and I don’t know what to do
I’m not the same person, the one you might have knew.
I hide in the darkness, instead of the light
My days are long and lonely, instead of short and bright.
I look in the mirror, and see another girl
Her body is here, her mind in a different world.
She pulls up her shirt and sees her ribs
She sucks in her stomach and touches her hips.
The girl is familiar and yet so much a stranger
I have pity for her
a part of me hates her.
She follows the crowd so she can fit in
Showing her real true self is just forbidden.
I look at this girl and know what she thinks
I feel her pain every time she blinks.
I stare at her body and the cuts on her wrists
Brought up bad memories, of when she was pissed.
Her pain she keeps deep within
There is no way out, she can never win.
She cuts herself, instead of cries
Her heart needs comfort, inside she dies.
To society, she is a slave
She has to be a “good girl” and always behave.
She screams from deep inside herself
But who can hear inside her shell?
She dreams of tomorrow and better days
When she’s out of the prison everyone has made.
My heart goes out to this girl I see
Then I stop and realize… I’m looking at me.
