The Mirror
Catching a glimpse of the mirror
Leaning closer to see
Shaking my head in disbelief
Fingers touch the glass in wonder
This can't be me in there
I don't recognize that face
That face has experienced too much
Eyes filled with sadness
Search for something familiar
My fingers trace my face
This is so strange, so disconnected
The person inside me is so different
Younger and free, so full of life
I'm trying to understand why
I don't know the person looking back at me
