Do you ever look in the mirror?
Just as a reminder?
You don't know what you're reminding yourself of or for

Is it to see if you can still smile?
Is it to see if you actually look good?
Is it to check if you could smile when you're alone?

Or is it
To look into the reflection eyes
To see if you could try to read it
To see if it's showing helplessness? Hopelessness?
Or a bubbling resilience to bounce back despite all?

Is it to check if your existence is there?
Is it to check if you're actually enjoying or 
are on verge of crying
Is it to check if other compliments about you are true?

Is it to see if you're okay?
Is it to touch the surface and tell yourself
"Everything will be alright."?
Is it to remind you 
that crying doesnt look good on you

Do you ever just check the mirror?
Just to let it tell you your mental state
Because everything is so obscure, so confusing
And you don't know anything anymore

Do you check the mirror
To remind you that you're there
To remind you it'll take time
But maybe
Everything will be okay
