How can you get rid of baggage
When you only have the cloths on your back,
What can you do to restart living
When it is everything you lack
And you’ve just a song for giving.

If she was a rose she wasn’t smelling sweet,
She was a shard of glass from breaking
Nothing more than broken Crystal,
On a dirty floor in the trash of her own making,
A sorrowed soul with a siren’s call.

She almost got her lips to smile, only half,
Smoothed her dress and combed her hair,
Looking in the mirror only made her laugh,
She sighed then taking reality’s next dare.

Gloom,
Good call on this one! I feel like you are doing my diry laundry. You are beginning to creep me out. Keep up the good work!

When you can look in the mirror and laugh, especially the laugh which you described, life has sucker punched you and there is no way to go, but up.
