My mirror that tells me more

I woke up,

I got ready for the day,

I looked in the mirror and everything changed...

 

That day was when I really woke up, the day I noticed the mask I try to hide behind every day.

The mask I use to hide my feelings, to hide my voice, and to hide myself from everyone else...

 

Thats also the day I decided to take that mask off...

Now I know more...

I know it's okay to not be okay

I know that I have a voice for a reason

I know that I am perfect just the way i am

Thats what I see in my mirror...

    Scars

    Scars

    People judge them...

    You try to hide them...

    But...

    They are just a reminder that you are strong...

    You can do anything you put your mind to...

    You might get hurt...but you will be okay...

    Hidden

    Hidden in the shadows 

    Not sure where to go

    I get lost at every turn I take

    I look for the people I know but their faces are all blurry, I can't recognize anyone...

    Why I hate school :)

    I have this teacher...

    This teacher is rude and sexist 

    They get mad if you don't know the answer to something that they haven't explained yet...

    They never get mad at certain students, they have favorites...
