Not My Own

She looks in the mirror
And sees a reflection not her own
Her smile and perfection
Have all been thrown.

Yesterdays past has long been forgotten
And the pieces all long gone
She has nothing else to live for
She slowly slips out of song.

She sits in the darkness
And tries to figure out what went wrong
Why has this all been happening?
Why has this gone on for so long?

There’s nothing for her to do now
But sit and cry all day
She sits on her hands and knees
And softly begins to pray.

She looks in the mirror once again
And sees a girl she does not know
All the past years, the memories she’s had
No more do they show.

Soon she will slip
Into depression and madness,
And all because of no one there
Has caused her all this sadness.
