THE MIRROR

Who am I?
What do I see?
Is the person staring back?
The girl I used to be?

Who am I?
This smart, confident, beautiful girl?
A picture of utmost perfection
I portray to the world

Who am I?
Drive, ambition, empathy, compassion?
Weariness, dissuasion, coldness, confusion?

Who am I?
What happened to hopes and dreams?
For I'm just lying here in this silence
Giving up with the greatest of ease

Who am I?
I don't even know anymore
There's a haunting voice in my head
It's getting harder to ignore..

Who am I?
It's all form and figure
No depth..no perception
Only lies and empty desire

Who am I?
A mask of happiness
An illusion of contentment
A life-like disguise
You will never know the difference

Who am I?
Will I ever return?
At times I'd give anything to just go back..
To change the path and not get burned

Who am I now?
Who will I be?
Will I ever know for sure?
Or is life just... an oblivious journey?
