My Reflection

by dEpReSsEdCuTtEr   Sep 4, 2004


I see this girl
scared as can be
shes just standing there
looking straight back at me

i look in her eyes
full of sorrow and shame
heart full of hurt
mind full of pain

she looks so familiar
yet a complete stranger at the same time
her mind is screaming for someone to be there for her but she never says a word
her cry for help is never heard

i watch her eyes fill with tears
as she stands there alone
trying to be brave
and fight all her fears

tears start trickling down her cheek
slowly at first
then they start pouring out
like one gigantic burst

as i silently stand there watching
i see her reach into her pocket and pull out a broken piece of glass
she raises it to her arm closes her eyes and suddenly shes filled with relief and her tears fade fast

the blood starts to seep through her skin
dripping onto the ground
i see her starting to spin
as she hits the floor without a sound

i black out into a deep dark sleep
when i wake up in the morning
I'm covered with blood

as i slowly get up
i realize that the scared girl looking straight at me was nothing but my reflection in the mirror my inner-self, the real true me
