When she looks into the mirror

What does she really see?

Cutting, suicide, depression and anxiety?

She tries to pull herself away

Instead she just stands there

Hating what she sees

Watching her reflection

She longs to be free

Looking through the glass

Wishing her image to disappear

She needs to take another look

Katie needs to look past the flesh

She needs to look deeper

For the secrets hidden within

To take a step outside of the dreams

She must find the truth

To stop the silent screams

Each day she should look inside

Give her a complement

Give her a smile

Tell her that she is worth it

Make her feel worthwhile

Help her take a step towards life

For it is time to live now Katie

And but away her knife
