What Do I Look Like?

What Do I Look Like?

A Poem by Sarahthirk
"

Once 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:
I’ve accepted your apologies

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?
