This Life Sized Mirror


She was done before the start,
always mending broken hearts
making others miserable
not knowing who she's hurting
father said "this day will be, one for
everyone to see“
is it true you'll follow suit and have
you learned a thing?
it's just s selfish way to go
it's safe to say she'll never know
for every person there's a whole
life story
waiting to be told
when she is happy it's okay,
but when these people start to fade
then we'll just watch her self-destruct as
she gets old
She put up defensive shields
to walk through all of life's minefields
all defined by make-up and a car behind
she's hiding
"father do you have to go, left me
questions, i don't know"
any answers or even close the life time
lie was true
She's gonna move on with her life
and take it one heart at a time
and watch the little girl inside her
wait behind as she goes on
but with this black heart she decides
who she'll take in and shove aside
until the day she sees that everyone has gone
Getting used to people leaving
thinking true love is deceiving
soon she'll know how lonely it can be
now was it really worth the pain?
a couple pills make her feel sane
while she lives out the story
written for the part she is to play
with so much shame for her to hide
there's no more dignity, no pride
then there will only be dark in her
light of day
And she will only see a reflection
of her father's rejection
nothing will change until she breaks
this life,
this life-sized mirror
