Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the saddest of them all?
Is it the rich girl who gets bullied and teased all day?
Or the homeless boy that has no where safe to stay?
Perhaps it’s the kid addicted to drugs?
Receiving the cold shoulder, instead of kisses and hugs.
Could it even be the girl with all of those scars?
Who feels as if she’s trapped behind bars?
All of these people are getting treated like crap
Leading themselves into a horrible death trap
Mirror, mirror on the wall
How will we catch them when they fall?
