Started Young - Maria Zuccarini

I am so many things that I often forget So much beauty I that I often miss It is sad truly How I only see the beauty In everyone but me The mirror is not my friend, she does not like me at all Ever since I was small and smashed her sister up against a wall Like her, her sister was cruel and she would rip me apart From inches away she would tear out my heart Well I am older now and my reflection I still fear I thought as you age all of your fears disappeared? Well I am older now but I’m still so unsure Because I am still a fragile girl who’s so insecure.
