Mirror

She enters rushing through the door,
With a smile that is so real as fairy is
She looks for her make-up,
But when she looks at the mirror,
All she sees,
Is her true self,

She sees her reflection,
The true one,
A girl with a river in her cheeks,
With swollen eyes
And trembling mouth
So are her hands,
She scratches the other side of the mirror,
And screams silently for help.
She bites her lips so fiercely that pearls of blood escape from them,

In the other side,
The girl with the fake smile,
Laughs,
Trying to pretend she is alright,
She keeps on laughing,
When a courageous tear starts rolling through her face.

Afraid,
She breaks the mirror,
Trying to escape from her true feelings,
But the shatter pieces still reflect her inside.

While running she stumbles,
Falls to her knees,
She can’t stand it anymore,
Her face turns into the colour of the snow,
And the girl from the other side of the mirror,
Takes her place.
