The girl in the mirror

This is an ode to the girl who stands before me each day
Survivor of rape,
Survivor of Bullimia
Survivor of self harm
Survivor of herself
The girl who stands before me isn't always strong
Sometimes she'll reach for a blade
Sometimes she'll eat a lot of food just to puke it back up
But sometimes she will stand in front of me and smile
Because she is loved
This girl has been through more things than i should say
Yet, she still stands before me
Each and every day
Because this girl has a purpose
She is important
She is loved by most
But all she sees is hated by few
This is to that girl in the mirror
You are beautiful
You are wanted and loved
Don't take your life
