Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?

by Brigitte   Apr 3, 2006


Whose reflection is this, in the mirror?
What truly have I become?
When did my face become sunken in tears?
Why are my slender wrists dripping with the crimson of blood?
How did my body become entranced with fear?
And if I let myself go... Where might my body go?

Who hath done this to me, it couldn't have been I?
What forsaken soul has made me this catastrophe?
When was it that my heart feverishly died?
Why don't I recognize this girl in the mirror?
How can I tell myself it's just time to say good-bye?
And if I let myself go....Where might my body go?

Who will catch me, if I just let go?
What will happen if I loose my mind?
When will it be okay to let my feeling show?
Why must I go through this agony?
How was it that I ever hit such an all time low?
And if I let myself go... Where might my body go?

    Seemed a tad suicidal at some point. But the questions really built up a picture of despair. There was an undercurrent of naievety about it that I liked....made it all the more impressive for me. This sprung to my mind- 'the worst form of despair is when you dont know you're in it'

    Excellent...Brigitte...
