Beyond Recognition

The bags are three times larger,
Beautiful eyes once a bright sky blue
Have long turned dull and grey.
Soft hairs that rested at the chin
Now droop down to the shoulders,
Bangs covering an eye.
Pale skin has somehow grown paler,
Lips pulled in a constant frown.
I dread mirrors more than before
As now I can't even see myself,
Just someone's face glancing back at me.
They can't even look me...
I can't even look at me...
I don't even look LIKE me...
But who was "me" to begin with?
