I can no longer see my reflection
Every morning in the mirror
I see a different girl
Who is she?
What is that longing in her eyes?

Her face is stricken with sorrow
She is hunched forward
As if the weight of a thousand men rests upon her  shoulder
Now she begins to cry
Tears streaming down her pale face

But as I taste the salty tear
I realize that I am the girl
Tired and  worn
Lost and confused
Lonely and desperate

No longer filled with innocence
But with regrets from the past

And now she slips away
Into the dark and lonely shadows
Taking hope with her

Where has she gone?
Where has she taken hope to?
Will it return?
Where is the girl?
Where is she?

She is gone.
Gone.
Never to return
Engulfed by sorrow
No more pain
No more suffering
   Gone.

Wow- sounds like me nearly. I often look in the mirror and try to figure out what happened to me. It is like a guilt trip we experience at one time or another.
