       She cried as she looked into the broken mirror, 
      Seeing her small reflection looking back at her. 
      As the snow fell slowly outside her window, covering the ground with a 
      gentle glow, 
      She saw how quickly her reflection changed with out a warning or a sound
       
      She hated what she saw looking back at her. She hated what she had
      done,  
      but most of all she hated what she had become 
      She would now kill to be that girl she used to know, 
      That beautiful girl, that loved not only herself but all that she could 
      be. 
      For her friends in school and out, it was hard for them to see, 
      Because they were the ones that murdered that bright, happy girl, she used 
      to be. 
      Now she goes about each and every day as calmly as can be, trying to let 
      no one 
      See, that she’s just trying to find that girl she used to be. That girl 
      she used to be.   |
