As I look into the mirror,
Like trying to search through a crystal ball,
I wonder if this is what everyone sees,
As drops of crystalline water falls,
I wonder what they see,
The answer is so far,
That they say those hurtful things,
That my self-esteem they mar,
I close the windows to my soul,
Trying to keep out all light,
Maybe it won't hurt if I don't look,
So I keep them shut tight,
I then put my hands over my ears,
Trying to block sound out,
Maybe it won't hurt if I don't hear the words,
I wonder what it's all about,
But by now it's too late,
The blows have been wrought,
The feelings won't go away,
By my mind the memories are caught.
