Self-reflection. Don't bully others!
A little girl looks into a mirror
She sees her reflection
She can't even smile
A grey cloud to cover her brain
A storm begins
It rains
Her heart is suffocating
Depression wins once again
You'll never see it
No one will
It goes unheard
It goes unsaid
She never goes unbroken
As she walks down the sullen halls
Whispers are tossed around
Words are thrown
They cut her
They gash her face
Her appearance now horrid
She sees her reflection
She can't even smile
She didn't do this
They did
And there was no one to help her
She can't break free of the chains that seemed to appear on her by birth
A mystery she can't unfold
A story she cannot tell
A prophecy that stuck
Until one day she was gone
Once a thought, now an example
Her shadows wander through the sullen halls
People take action
People stand up
She once again looks in the mirror
Despite what has happened
And the new beginning
A smile
A beautiful smile
