Look a little closer

they say how can you love someone when you don't even love yourself. but you see, she's just a girl living up to impossibility. look in the mirror and what do I see, I see a broken soul staring right back at me.

I say look at the mirror, what do you see. I see an insecure 15 year old girl staring back at me. I say look a little closer, tell me what you see. I see bloody scratches and scares hidden by long sleeves. I see a broken heart hidding behind a mask pretending they don't want to leave.

they say how can you love someone when you don't even love yourself. we'll look at it this way, how can you learn to love when you have never received it. how will you know how to feel when everybody keeps leavin you bleedin.

she was only 6 years old, loss was only something new. but life didn't wait and took her parents, Sally and drew.she had to learn to stand all on her own. because she never truly had a place to call home. so I say look a little closer when facing that mirror, because you would've never known the little girl starring at her own fear.
