-Mirror.Me-

I looked into the mirror
And took a step closer
The wind veered
An ecstatic girl appeared

Undulating black hair
Tanned skin
Eyes squinting
With an exultant grin

Who is that girl in front of me?
The girl who's staring straight back at me
Who looks so happy and unfettered
Whose face light up in glee

Then it hit me
That girl in the mirror
Was me.

Once again I looked into the mirror
And took a step closer
The wind veered
A distressed girl appeared

Frowning eyebrows
Caliginous dark circles
Her spirit being cinched suffocatingly
Life in shambles

She's trying to scream for help
But her mouth was under water
Bags of rocks tied to her legs
Slowly dragging her down like torture

Who is that girl in front of me?
The girl who's staring straight back at me
With a strained smile
Looking helpless and in despair

Then I realised
That girl in the mirror
Is me.
