Are you going to wear that 

You look fat 

You aren't as pretty as you think 

No one will ever love you 

You disgust me 

You are such a dork 

Nerd 

Loser 

Unwanted child 


You say they once lived under bridges. 

I say they have always lived in the reflections of the hurt, 

with stomachs that drop off into an abyss 

that darkened bottom will never be found 

where the hunger for others to feel the same will never be satisfied.

It feels as though when the heart of the grinch grew he stole the size of mine

My mother always said I was a mean girl from the movies 

Others called me Regina Goerge 

My father told me I was never good enough 

Maybe that's why I am the way I am 


I never really knew how bad it hurt until I looked for my reflection and instead found a troll in a sunflower dress

I guess My shadow has always shone with hatred of those better than me and the feeling of needing to make them drop to my level,

for everyone to be the same 

to not be alone in this pain. 


I'm sorry, I didn't mean to turn into this monster of misery, 

I'm sorry I made your daughter feel the same as me,

I'm sorry she wasn't strong enough to handle it,

I'm sorry your pills are missing now, 

I'm sorry I've turned you into my reflection.


I'm sorry your son lost his sister 

I'm sorry he's like me now too 

I hope he's strong enough 

I'm sorry the gun case was unlocked 

I'm sorry you are a childless mother

I'm sorry they fell for my tricks 

But now we aren't lonely anymore, well at least I’m not,

I have you now, just as ugly as me. 


You hate me don't you,

for changing the way you see yourself,

I'm sorry for not wanting to be alone anymore. 

You watch yourself be washed away as the sunflower petals fall from dress in the mirror and turn the ash of who you used to be. 


Welcome to my world of pain

Hope you enjoy the stay
