Reflection

You stare back at me with a heavy heart Eyes moistened with dismay As clear as glass, you're humbled Behind this mirror you'll stay I too stare back with resentment and shame Why must you stalk me so If the world were blind, you would cease to exist Only then would others know You steal my identity and rob me of power You brand my very being Telling my story as if it were your own Blinding all hearts from seeing One day I will break free of your chains You will realize your worth Your grave will reside beneath this glass While I will flee this earth
