The Girl in the Mirror

There is a girl in the mirror
And she looks a lot like me
This girl in the mirror looks like
I think I used to be
I look at her face
And she stares back at mine
This girl in the mirror
Does not have much time
Her eyes are dead
Her face is pale
Her posture is slumped
Like she can no longer
Fight.

There is a girl in the mirror
She won't stop staring at me
I move to my left
She moves to her right
I feel blocked
I feel trapped
By this mysterious girl.
Her eyes pierce me as
I send a questioning look
She seems to know what
She wants and
She won't let me pass.
This girl in the mirror,
She is strong and
Secure.
I wish I knew how
To be like her.

Once more I look at the girl
My mystery in the mirror
I'm curious now - Who is SHE?
Am I the only one SHE sees?
I blink, she blinks, and
I realise with a start
This girl and I
We are the same.
Both the first and
Second girl,
They both are me.
They are my
Doubt and my
Strength when I
Didn't realise I had them.
My girls in the mirror would be so proud of me
The me in the mirror is my
Fears and Failures,
Insecurities that still
Make me fall

The me in the mirror
Has made me know
I am complete.
The two of me in the mirror
Are who I was and who I will be
The me that I am is outside the mirror,
Staring at the others of me.
The me outside the mirror goes closer and looks
I see the two of me in the mirror
They aren't as different as I thought
They are still me, but
Different.
The two of me in the mirror
They are sides of me.
I look again and I see,
My two me in the mirror are
So proud of me.

Frozen Over

Frozen from it all
Love
Heat
Warmth
It crashes down inside me
Molten mess
Lava rocks
Frozen to vaporized
Less than a second
Why do I care
Why do I cry
Is it mourning
For the memory
Of who I used to be?
The pain shining our
Is blinding me
You say I'm fine
You lied, it's true
But first
I lied when I said
I love you
See my face
Frozen with fakeness
See the smile
Drop out of sight
You see my real face
You freeze up in fright
Frozen up
With a stare
Knocking me down
I know for a fact
That my eggs
Were just scrambled
My façade fell apart
Long enough to see
Beneath myself
There's no more me
You saw this and ran
Running still
Won't slow down
Won't make the hurdle
Still I know deep inside
This isn't the end
After all,
Who would run
If they were really your friend?

Let Me Know

Do you even
Want me anymore?
What did I do
To elicit this
From you
Can you just
Not bear
To see me at all
Let me know
What did I do
To get this
From you
How to atone
For the wrong
That I did
You need
To hear me
Tell me how
To make it up
I'm tortured here
Losing sleep
All my nights
Are gone
To think of you
How you never saw
What I would do
The lengths
I would go
Just all I ask
Is to
Let me know
