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
