Reflection

Yesterday was a history,

Only figments of my memory,

Those flashes aren't even real,

Why am making it a big deal?


Last week, I saw a girl,

Sitting inside her wooden crib,

Food stains on her bib,

Innocence, it's her thrill.


Two days ago, I saw a young lady,

So beautiful and keen, all because of puberty,

She never failed to show her dimpled smile,

Not letting others know what she truly feel inside.


The other night, I saw her again,

All the beauty lost, eyes full of pain,

That smile on her faltered,

Her broken pieces never really heard.


Yesterday, I looked at a mirror,

I stared in shock, eyes full of terror,

Because I realized that the young lady I see,

Was nobody else but me.

----

me and my fucked up life.
