** My Reflection **

selfstruggles

i was washing my face
when i looked up at the mirror
it was like i'm staring at empty space
then i leaned to get nearer
but my own reflection frightened me
& i couldn't but drop a tear
the emptiness in her eyes confused me
staring & restless ,they wondered me
i don't know who that is ,but it can't be me
all this time i saw right through her
never thought that could ever be
& now she's haunting me
i can see her aching to be free
could this really have happened
could this world have changed me
& all this time was pretend , how could it be??
how did i become this life-chasing liar
how could i have sunk this low
how did i change my blood, my soul, my desires
how did i leave her & go???
trading kindness for greed
trading smiles for sensless laughter
guilty hungers i can never feed
shouldn't have let go though it was getting harder
how did i lose her, how did i lose me
when did i stop fighting for what's just & fair
when did i become this, when did my heart freeze??
even my soul rejected me
& left me unborn
even my eyes can't see
but i'm not gonna sit at the corner & mourn
i'm gonna return to me
i'll become who i wanted to be
even if it means starting from bottom
even if i had to crawl
even if i ended up forgotten
even if i was pushed again to fall
mark my words
i'll return to my reflection
& my heart won't be locked or ignored
i will only listen to my soul's direction
next time i look at the mirror
it will be clearer
& i will see me
