Reflections

I look in the mirror
I regret what I see
I see a complete stranger, staring back at me

I am not this person
I am not full of cheer
I am not even happy, all I feel is fear

I act like I love life
I seem full of glee
I am misleading; all I want to do is flee

I have a confession
I don’t often tell
I act this way, to escape my hell
