Mirror

The dripping sound
From the depths of my skull
It's the sound of death
Blood oozing from my heart
I cannot escape
I'm trapped in this cage
Just a helpless little girl
No place to hide
Stop staring at me
Like I'm the circus freak
Just because I'm different
Not black nor white
Not male nor female
Just a shadow of a person
A reflection in the mirror
Of my former self
The angry lines on my arms
Are stories of pain
The blood on my hands
Is mine, once again
Don't forget me, my love
I'm always here
Even when I'm gone
My spirit's near.
