Hidden Reflection

I am lost
I look in the mirror
My hair is tossed
Does anyone hear her?
The girl trapped inside
The one dying to be free
Why must she hide?
She wishes only to see…
To see the world as she once did
To feel like herself again
Before she disappeared and hid
Why should she crumble because of him?
I see her face that forgets how to smile
Her eyes are always teared
She wishes to escape…even for a while
What if it’s worse than I feared?
Her spirit is broken and bruised
The feeling never leaves
Her happiness was refused
She doesn’t know what she can believe
Self-hatred, guilt, and pain
Fill her every day
There is nothing left for her to gain
She seems to be dying in every way
I turn away from this horror
It can’t be true what I see
For in that mirror
That tortured soul is me
