Looking in the mirror               

Emotions run wild

Hurt.

Pain.

Fear.

Invading my thoughts

My mind consumed in a single moment

One look in the mirror 

My life turned upside-down

My confidence plummeted

My heart dropped 

My eyes filled with tears 

I became trapped

One person

One notion

Changed everything

Perfect picture burned

My reflection became my enemy

Confidence drowned out by fear

Happiness melted into loneliness

Put up walls

But once they crumbled

All repressed memories 

All bad experiences

Flooded in

Time stood still

Everything fell silent 

Finally

At peace

A shell of my bubbly self faded into an abyss

Farther and farther

Maybe I won’t get it back

Maybe I’m lost forever 

No repeated in my head 

So many times 

It lost all meaningl

I needed to find myself 

To feel good as I am 

Not as what someone wants me to be

From that day on

I realized

This is me

Take it or leave it

But no matter what you do

I know that I am good enough

For you

But more importantly for me
