Mirror

She stands before the mirror
And looks into the glass
The makeup that she wears
Hides a secret to her past
The way she was abused is why she can't deside should she end it now or keep it all inside
She sees the picture in her mind
The worst is saved till last
As she looks down at her fisted hands and thrusts it through the glass
