the girl and her reflection

i won’t do it i won’t do it i won’t do it

you can’t make me with your angel voice and sugary sweet words

and your deceptive smile and perfect lies and

tearstearstears your guilt trip won’t send me to hell again i won’t fall i won’t fall i won’t

won’t won’t you will not break me your dark actions jarred me awake and

i’m not wearing rose colored glasses anymore; you helped me see and i’ll make you leave my vicinity

 

forever and ever and ever and ever

 

you won’t be able to see that naive little girl in her ideal world of no pain

what a laugh you’re hilarious child simply hilarious

you understand that right? because i’m not the same and

you’re not the same and neither of us

will ever yield and you won’t make me

i know my limits i do and you’re not doing to break me

and i can swim through the denial without drowning and resurface and you’re always

going to keep trying and you’ll never win never win never

never win i’llNEVERWINYOUWILLNOTBREAKME

your clear reflection glinting at me and you mock me with your flaws and

it won’t WORK anymore okay you’re done you lost JUST ACCEPT IT OKAY

kills and kills and kills and the cycle never ends it’s all a twisted game of truth or dare

admit the truth or dare to lie to yourself

 

forever and ever and ever an d    e   v     e         r

 

and in the end, it’s i who broke you

and as i shatter you to pieces with my trembling fists,

you reflect back hysteria in the form of a smile that twitches at the edges and breaks at the seams

and i fall apart all over again

 

i see you smile in the glassy remains and my hands are sliced with bloody lacerations

and i guess i had it coming all along

 

but hey, you never did break me
