Looking into the mirror, she saw someone she had never seen. Sunken eyes and greyish skin, eyes like broken glass, as if something had broken inside not long ago.It's becoming difficult to hang on, to carry on. I wonder if I should just give it all up and let go for once.
But then I remembered her, that young girl would help anyone in need. Who would smile even if someone hurt her, who would say she doesn't want help even if she was the one who most needed it. She would listen to everyone with the best advice to share, according to other people at least. Her smile was said to be as beautiful as the brilliant flash of a shooting star.
I used to know her, she used to be in the mirror I look into now. Where did she go? She said she would help me... She said she would never leave me.... She swore she wouldn't change... She swore she would never break her promise... Then why wasn't she here?
Why doesn't she help me when tears are flooding my eyes? Why isn't she by me when I need her the most? Why does she value only others' joy? Why not mine? Where did that girl go? Why can't she care for herself anymore?
