Mirror, mirror on the wall are you the reason that we fall?
 We ask if we’re good enough
Skinny enough                                                                  
Pretty enough
Will we never be enough
We act ok
But on the inside
We’re not
We’re not enough
It Ruins us like a beautiful mountain that crumbled
We’re not radiant anymore
We’re not attentive anymore
We’re not enough
We never will be
We look at the shards of glass we broke to make sure we
always look perfect
We feel like a fresh apple that is rotten on the inside
The more you look the less you can look away
Mirror, mirror.
