Inevitable

A glance in the mirror.
That's all it took.

A glimpse,
And she saw it.
Every mistake,
Every disappointment
That made her become
Who she is now.

A look,
And she saw a memory.
Every lie,
Every action
That made her arrive
At this moment.

A small glance,
And she saw the pain.
Saw the tears,
Saw the heartache
That has changed her.
That has scarred her.

A glance in the mirror
And she saw herself.
Broken.
