The Many Personalities of Me

Stranger in the mirror

She stares herself up and down in the mirror

As if she doesn’t recognize the person staring back.

The person on the other side;

A stranger.

One who has stolen her life

Taken her happiness .

Her eyes move up and down

Examining every inch of her reflection.

While looking at the stranger in the mirror

Her mind flashes back

To who she is now

And who she used to be

––––––––

Her scars tell a story

One of pain

One of sadness

One of confusion

If only she could turn back time

To the days she knew
