Reflection

You threaten me with hell

Claim that I am filled with hate

Say I'm mean to the core

Beat me til my body shakes

Burdened me with insults

Condemning all I tried to be

You said the hate was mine

Yet it was you who hated me

Just because I wasn't proper

And appeased to just sit by

Chose to run and play

Instead of lie and cry

You tried to break my spirit

And you destroyed my pride

Taught me to hate myself

And allow my dreams to die

And now I look in the mirror

To see a face that I despise

A body that's too big

That no clothes can disguise

Because when I see myself

It's not my eyes I'm looking through

My vision is now distorted

To see me as you do
