There was a little girl
she looked into her mirror
and saw herself
She saw pigtails and a gap tooth grin
bright eyes and loving friends
her world wasn't perfect
but it was good
There was a little girl
she looked into her mirror
and saw herself
She saw puberty take hold
wider hips and a chest
she counted pounds
boys would look
her friends noticed
her world wasn't perfect
There was a little girl
she looked into her mirror
and saw herself
She saw hip bones and ribs
thick make up and a hollow smile
red and white lines covered by sleeves
a sigarette in one hand, a bottle in the other
her "friends" were no more
no one saw the change
There was a little girl
she looked into her mirror
and saw herself
She wondered what would happen
as she counted her imperfections
then the pills
There was a little girl
she looked into her mirror
and saw herself
She gazed into it as she fell asleep
and saw bright eyes and a gap tooth grin
