in She stares at her reflection ,but cant run away from the evil whispers the bad ones say.
To fat, To short, To small they tell and she is trapped in an invisible cell.
Down the demons seem to drag her. Her self confidence lay in shatters.
She drinks up there lies like a dog laps up water. These insecurities never falter.
They lurk in the back of everyone's mind, waiting and planing for the right time.
When your down on your luck they strike a low blow. That's how fast self worth can go.
