Mirror MirrorMirror mirror on the wall
You see me,
Watch me,
My every rise and fall.

Is it you who knows me best..
Seen beyond the mask
When i'm down and depressed
Seen me the downright broken mess?

I look at you
you stare no slack
Silently judging
Behind my back

My knowledge of you ends
When I go my own way
But you watch me come and go
day after day..

kind regards, your faithful mirrorYour face smiles,
Your eyes don't,
Your mask outgoing,
Your heart doped.

You look to me
You search your face
Reaching, Striving
towards my base.

But like a pond in sunlight
You cannot judge,
Just how far I see beyond
your make-ups sludge.

You look to me, I quietly reflect
Your every shape disgrace and angle
All of it I inspect.

You walk away from me
forgetting I still stare
you turn and glance on departure.
Dont worry I'm still there.

Goodbye 'friend' .. no wait.Sitting here now in darkness I stare
Still wondering, and waiting to see if you care.
I've cursed you and expressed a severe disconcern
But now I have to wonder was it me who did the burn.

Was it me who pushed you away
Too impulsive too repulsive.
I'll never know and always wonder either way.

You came to me when you felt down and depressed.
I was there for you.
I barely knew you.
Yet I loved you.

AdiosYou don't look much different,
even though you've changed.
Thought I really knew you,
But hey how should I know.

Now I could look straight through you,
What happened, where'd YOU go.
Your friendship has a knack,
for disappearing over night.

Appearance hasn't changed much,
Despite how far you've gone.
The one I once held on a pedestal,
My goodness how things change.

I don't like you and your skinny j-genesEverything's changed
Nothing is as before
I just
Don't recognize
Can't accept
Don't want to be
Who I am anymore.

Glass fattens
Shadows lie.
Mirrors, Cameras,
They all try
Repress me
Depress me
Force me to cry.

God's called another angelYou were sick and tired
none of us we knew,
God had pulled the reins in
Calling home for you.

My mother and yourself
You fought so hard and long
Now that your struggles over
My mother will carry on.

I know she feels defeated
this cancer its hard to beat.
Your memory lies with her always
In every stride as she aims to defeat.

Trapped by society's clawsStrip off all your make up
What is it that you hide
Is it mearly a freckle
Or is it the ugly that lurks inside

What lies beneath the lipgloss
Your extensions Your false hair
Is it all just plastic
Or is there substance there

I see you without the fake tan
The fake lashes. Fake nails
I watch the stripping of your bronzer
And so gradually your face pales.

I'm the one who sees you
Your insecurities. Your Flaws
I see beyond the you thats trapped
Held captive. By societies Claws.

Lost in you The distance between us
Its taken me whole
Distressing
Devouring
My very soul
Gasping
But
Breathing
I try to find
The pieces of mine
Fragmented mind.

Not pretty so un-pretty.I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel this ugly too.
I was told inside i'm beautiful,
Wish it reflected externally too.

Then I'd feel pretty.
finally pretty

Wish I could zip you up in my jeans
Make you feel this fatty two,
Always the one with the long hair
Hiding away a tear or two

Un-pretty.. so un-pretty

Wish I could roll you up in my hood
make you feel unworthy too.
Perhaps someday I'll feel beautiful.
Feel like I deserve you.

Keeper of my heart and dreamsKeeper of my dreams
You thread on them
My heart always in your hands
Without you I merely exist

Cause when you're not there,
those days and nights we don't share
Those times, my life is incomplete
But when your around keeper of hearts and dreams...
I have nobody left to seek.

No longer know
what day it is
Or what is the month
This clock has never seemed so alive.

that stungThe tears roll softly down my face
Pooling at the bottom of my cheek
Before plummeting
into the pillows and sheets.

Don't think you know
Just how much
That one snide comment stung
You should Have let it stay
On the tip of your tongue.

Cancer has no refereeHad I known
To wish this year
I'd have wished
You could stay here.

You locked horns with Cancer
Despite your battle to be free
Glory days turned sad days
Cancer has no referee.

You beautiful woman
Your life taken in vain.
At least your at rest now
No more memories consumed by pain.

But you loved me mammy.My 5 year old face always a dirty disgrace.
But you loved me mammy

My two scabby knees and lack of the world please
But you loved me mammy

Had you up all night and then woke you at dawn
But you still loved me mammy.

I ate all the cookies then fell in the pond
Yet you still loved me mammy.

The cat went in the washing machine
Even I knew that was wrong
You still loved me mammy

Pulled up nannys daffodils
You got the blame
Yet you still loved me mammy.

I started to curse teenage years became the worst
But you still loved me mammy.

Climbed out through the window
Smoked while I was gone'
You still loved me mamm.

I passed my f

ListenCan you hear me
Listen
Listen to my cries
Hear me
Feel my pain
See your neglect
Understand what you've put me through
Hear me roar
My anger bouncing off the wall
My sadness ringing in
Your deaf ears
Can't you hear me
Do you just not care
Listen to me
Listen
Don't walk away
I'm not finished
If only you'd hear me
If only I could make you see
Why won't you listen
Why don't you care
Do you not see the tears
I'm shedding
You're the one that's made to care
It's your job
Why can't you just listen

Maybe you can't hear me
Yeah
That's it
I'm just not loud enough

Pretending to be AliveTake a deep breath
Hold back all your tears
Say goodbye
To all of those years
Whisper your thoughts
As you die inside
Tell everyone
You’re still alive
Quickly get home
And take out that knife
And watch the blood spill
As you end your life

Bad luck.I can see bad luck from a distance.
See it practicing on another couple.
As if it where raining on her sense.
The girls heart tries to open an umbrella.

I can see the storm set in his eyes.
Her body's drenched despite her tries.
Still she hopes- For something-

My body's tiedI see your lost behind those eyes.
I see the pain behind those lies.
Still I lay here for you.
My conscience is weak.
My hands are tied.
Forgotten the one who stood by my side.
My Body's caved to you

Fortune CatcherPick a colour,
Then perhaps number two,
Try shuffle the paper,
Change numbers several times through.
More shuffles of paper,
another number or two,
I still pick you.

YouA chilly night in dozy sleep
I feel your arms extend
One round my waist
you stroke my face
Don't want this night to end.

Gone.What's happened to the simple times
mother and daughter hand in hand.
No cares or stress,
Just minding our steps
On that same stroll across the land.

The simple times,the happy times
Seem buried long ago.
I only barely catch you
between,
The college to and frow.

then a whisper that I love youI love the way you smile at me
How lately your always there
I love the way you hold my hand
Or run your fingers through my hair
I love how your warmth radiates at me
Despite the morning walks crispy air
I love the way your always right
You read my thoughts, every line
I love you so much it makes me sick
your love its just sublime.

Stand at me
Glare at me
Rant
And pull
Your hair at me.

Reward me
with tears
your eyes like
daggers and spears.

I'm not cruel
Just. Honest.
