Mirror

"You look fat" the mirror said to the slender girl standing in front of it
The girl cut out the fatty contents of her diet
she returned to the mirror
"You just get bigger and bigger" the mirror said with a sigh
the girl began going to the gym
"You'll never be slim!" the mirror cried
she tried and tried but
"Just look at the gut!"
one night she forced herself to be sick
"You're so thick" the mirror taunted
she took a knife to her wrist
a few days later her mum found a list
it listed goodbyes to family and friends
love and affection she sends
the mirror lay broken on the floor
the girl was now at death's door
