The
Reflection
I look in the mirror
Just wondering what I’m supposed to see.
I look in the mirror
Just wondering if that’s really me.
What’s this reflection staring back at me?
Whose this girl with the sad eyes
To go with the drawn mouth?
Whose this reflection that never cries?
Blood runs down my fist-
The mirror is shattered
Lying at my feet in a million pieces,
The blood no longer mattered.
Trying to fix this broken life
Has become my lonely fight-
To end the dark days and all the pain,
To make what was wrong, right.
Take all these scars and shove it!
Take the abuse, take my shame
Take it away for me tonight-
I don’t want things to be the same!
My life is being put back together,
As my reflection is shattered in pieces-
I just hope for the sun to come up each day
And to finally wake up at peace.
