Me, Myself and My Bathroom Mirror

Don't look in the bathroom mirror for too long

You will hate yourself

Don't eat the last of that steak on your plate

Or voices will tell you to kill yourself

I can't wear that shirt out tonight

They tell me I'm not thin enough

Why is shredding my ego up

The only way I can entertain myself

I can't go out with my friends

Without bringing my intrusive thoughts

They raise Hell every time I try to open my mouth

They clutch my throat if I try and

Speak highly of myself

Choke me out so the words can't come out

When Im resting my frown

I wear a smile out of the house to disguise myself

As some happy twenty-something

Who has it figured out

The only thing that I have figured out

Is what part of me that day

I'm gonna tear myself up about

Sometimes my mirror and I knock me out

I will wake up to some doctor

Trying to talk to me about my demons

That he knows nothing about

Please send me home

With some Prozac and a pamphlet

About signs of depression and anxiety

And ways to take care of myself

So that I can put them on my bedroom shelf

To watch them catch dust

Im good until Im not then

I tell everyone to leave me here all by myself

I will talk to you later

Its time for me to go home and hate myself

Just me, myself and my bathroom mirror

Is what my life revolves around
