"The mirror"

Mental health
1

I look in the mirror and try to see

But I don't know the person looking back at me

Who is this girl? I am unsure

She doesn't look the same as she did before

Why is she different? I think for a while

Her eyes full of emptiness, she has no smile

I try to think and I try to see

Why the reflection is there yet it's not me

I look once more, I stand and I stare

But the girl who once was is no longer there

So I smash that mirror! And I break that glass

So I don't have to look and these feelings may pass...

Who was that there? Who did I see?

Who was that girl looking back at me?

I can relate to this so much..

I can relate to how your body can change and depression can kick in
