What Do I Look Like?A Poem by SarahthirkOnce you break something, you can try to put it back together, but it will never fully serve its purpose nor look the same again.Verse: You can shatter a glass All over the floor Pick it up and glue it back together but it still won’t hold The water You can crumple a paper Then flatten it out Iron it and press it down but the creases will stick Forever Pre-chorus: You can cut me into pieces And apologize so many damn times But these scars will never fade away Chorus: When I look into the mirror I don’t see myself there anymore A sad girl is staring back at me A girl who’s been shot in the core And I’m just trying to find myself In this place I call hell You turned me into something else So what do I look like now? Verse: I look into your blue eyes and see remorse So sad too bad you didn’t want me to feel well Before Pre-chorus: You can cut me into pieces And apologize so many damn times But these scars will never fade away Chorus: When I look into the mirror I don’t see myself there anymore A sad girl is staring back at me A girl who’s been shot in the core And I’m just trying to find myself In this place I call hell You turned me into something else So what do I look like now? Bridge: So many stabs in the back Left me paralyzed A picture hanging on the wall Reminds me of when I smiled Pre-chorus: But a mosaic of my dreams Lies shattered on the floor Chorus: x2 When I look into the mirror I don’t see myself there anymore A sad girl is staring back at me A girl who’s been shot in the core And I’m just trying to find myself In this place I call hell You turned me into something else So what do I look like now? What do I look like now? Oh what do I look like now? Yeah what do I look like now? What do I look like now?© 2013 Sarahthirk |
