The Mirror's Intervention
by Yero AKA Eric E Don't steal!
I looked in the mirror/the mirror looked at me/my eyes began to change/back to what they/really looked like.
As I watched/the mirror talked/Why, it said/ have you done/ this to yourself?
This isn't the real/you, it continued,/it's just a fake./I ask you again, why did you do this?
The last time you/looked at me/you seemed a good kid/got good grades,/were nice and cheerful.
What is with all/the disguise?/The faded black t-shirt,/the dark jeans,/the gloves?
Why do you wear/these boots?/the white powder/the eyeliner/why, why, why?
You were so nice/so friendly/you were creative/in a good way/and you left your wrists alone.
This isnt the kid/who used to go/in this room/now you never/sleep, just sneak out.
Why all the drugs?/Why all the fake depressions, lies and/all of your mean/friends?
Your old friends/they cared/the mirror said/your new ones just care about being cool.
Youve been avoiding me/I noticed./Did you think I was/going to let you go!/I want to save you.
I looked back/at the mirror/realizing what/he said. It/was so true.
I cried and/cried, and beat/my wall. I/couldnt stand/it anymore.
There, there/said the mirror/You'll be fine./Just listen to/me, ill help.
Please excuse the lack of apostrophes, it's all because of TextEdit saving. Sorry!
