I broke the mirror this morning...

By K_Love

I broke the mirror this morning,
I didn't like what I saw,
Sat in the bathroom,
Crying in the graffiti stall.

Ugly and fat... ( ( ( ugly ) ) ) and (((Fat)))
The world is so cold we can't accept people anymore,
We can't appreciate anyone for who they are.

I hide...
I hide behind all the fucking makeup...
BECAUSE OF YOU!
BECAUSE OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

You couldn't just say it once could you?
No... you had to say it again... and again..
AND AGAIN!

( ( ( UgLy ) ) ) and (((FaT)))

I don't wear the right clothes...
I don't say the right things...

I DON'T WANT TO BE YOU...
I sit at home thinking...
I should throw up after I eat...
Or I should not eat at all.

See what you superficial people out there make me think,
WHY WOULD I EVER FUCKING DO THAT TO MYSELF!?!?
I WOULDN'T I WOULD ONLY BE ANOTHER YOU!

I cry sometimes because I'm ashamed of me...

( ( ( UgLy ) ) ) and (((FaT)))

I broke the mirror this morning,
I didn't like what I saw,
Sat in the bathroom,
Crying in the graffiti stall...

(((accept me for who I am)))

Very personal znd in-your-face. I really liked the attitude of this poem. As for those who would try to hold you down from what you should be: fuck 'em. Their empty words can only hurt you if you accept the lies to be true. Place no value on what they say

People who would say such things about anyone do not deserve a listening ear. Thus, you should not give them one.

Ouch. Painfully honest. And sadly, truer words are seldom spoken. Your message is driving. I like this piece though it hurts in its familiarity. -Glass
