Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why is it lately, I feel so small?
Like a spec of dust on a dirty floor,
Like a filthy, old man's whore.
How he uncovered what was hidden
And stole what was forbidden.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why is it you do nothing at all?
To tell them what you saw was true
It was always there, you always knew
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Why am I stuck in this barbed wire shawl?
Covered in armor from head to feet
To make sure no one gets close to me
Mirror, mirror in the wall,
Before I walk, why must I crawl?
Help me know where to begin
Just let me escape this pain that I'm in
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Can you hear my anguished call?
This cry for help, these silent tears,
Quiet for so many years.
