Analysis of I See

Ghostgirl101 2003 (MN)



In the mirror I see a girl...
A girl who has scars across her chest, bruises on her thighs, stitches on her wrists, and burns on her calves.
A girl who is lost in a world where everyone is breathing and she's drowning.
I see a girl who's family is broken into pieces that don't fit together anymore.
I see a girl who doesn't want to fight her demons anymore.
oh wait, that girl is me...
