The Girl in the Mirror
I look at the girl in the mirror,
as she looks back at me in disgrace.
I can see the disappointment,
that quickly forms upon her face.

She makes me feel ugly and different
telling me I can never look right,
but soon did I realize those rude comments
were coming from my own critical sight.

The girl in the mirror is controling
or is she my controling side?
Whoever she is, I don't like her.
So when she's around I try to hide.

For she weakens me and hurts me,
if you knew what shes put me through
you would quickly turn to bulima
as she has forced me to do.

I know that she's just negative
and what she says could not be true,
but she still is there critizing me
for every single thing I do.

You only live once so live it to the fullest..
Love comes and goes but friends stay for ever~!~!~!~!~!

Hi, Andrea.  I was just replying to your other poem, when this one popped up.  Look, I know you're going through a lot right now, but I am telling you I an anorexic and bulimic, and so if you EVER need anyone to talk to then please email me!  Because you and I both know it's not easy doing this alone.  I am so sorry that you have to be put through this, and I understand it is an addiction.  Please feel free to email me for anything.

This was great but i mean don't be so sad and negative. Be happy with who you are.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

I think you wrote about this very well but I hope if you're going through this now that you can get some help with it and come to accept yourself.
