Staring at the mirror,
The reflection is different.
'Is that me?'
I ask myself repeatedly.
She looks distorted,
....so broken.

Tick tock tick tock,
The clock running wild,
Seems like I have got no time.
You tell me, I look phased, I know,
Memories carved inside my brain,
Everything will be alright, I hoped.

Eyes burning from inside,
Ears banging all the sides;
Jaw tensed, I look up,
Only to see this again,
Red eyes, tears brimming,
I fall down to my knees.

–Sia.
