Inside the mirror (her troubles)

Looking inside of the mirror.
Staring at her reflection.
Trying to understand.
Wishing  things were clearer.
Wondering why the people she loves tend to neglect & mistreat her.

««She doesn't know.
She feels worthless & disgusting.
She got a gun to her head,
Feeling suicidal!
She needs help,
Before she does it.»»

But all they give her is hell.
She feel the flames; its heating up.
Her "boyfriend" beats her up.
«He's no help.»
And her "friends" all criticize,
On a daily basis; asking why she doesn't just die.
And her Fam, you would think that they was cool,
But its torture everyday for this girl; she goes to school: with bruises & black eyes, gets laughed at and goes to  cry, causes her to miss classes, which she eventually  fails them all, then drops out of school...

««It gets deeper»»

She leaves the crib,
Late night,
No sneakers.
Dre beats over her ears,
Bumping "no more pain",
But she can still feel.
What will  take more than a song,
Or a miracle to heal...

She walks alone  one night.
Singing a smooth medley.
Walking a crooked path.
Carrying only a mirror
& a make up bag.

She stops in a desolate area of a forest.
Views what's in the mirror.
Her [beautiful] reflection! But she thinks it is horrid.
She hates it!
She chucks the mirror.
& breaks it.
See a river & a bridge, figures she can not take it, so...

Stares at the water from the bridge.
Replays memories of what her boyfriend did.
She climbs the rail, toes hanging off the ledge.
Takes a breath, looks at her reflection in the river bed...
And jumps....
