Can You Save Her?

Every night, she looks in the mirror.
Asking herself "who is this girl looking back at me?"
She is afraid to answer herself.
She has cuts and she has bruises.
She wishes she was skinnier
She wishes that she was prettier.
She wishes she was popular.
But little does she know, its not the material things in life that matter.
She wakes up everyday, puts on her make up, her jeans and a long jumper.
Under her jumper she's hiding everything about her.
She doesn't sleep until its time to wake.
She's afraid that she wont wake up for gods sake.
She cant except the fact that she feels alone.
She is afraid to get close to someone because of her past.
Say you will never leave her because she needs someone.
Could you be the one to save her?
