Mirrors

Empathy runs deep in broken people because they understand.

It's a shame she doesn't even know

Barely recognizes who she is

And what she looks like

You see

She had this vision with big dreams

Late nights with good people

Sunset dinner parties

And drinking underneath a sky full of stars

She spends two hours doing hair and makeup

But she can't even look at herself in the mirror

She wears a different mask depending on who is around

Always trying to fit in and be liked

When she doesn't even like herself

Nobody got to see the real her like I did

The corny jokes and big laughs

The tears after a heartbreaking movie

The way she nervously smiled when I tried flirting

She wanted to be a star

But didn't take time to reflect that to me she already was
