Reflection

I sit here in quiet contemplation Turn my head this way and that I see the angles of my face Slope of my nose and depth of my eyes I wish I had a smile for myself. I stand as my hands fall limply to my side Turn my body this way and that I see the angles displayed prominently The thinness of my arms, curve of my hips I wish I had a smile for myself. I search my heart and mind as I stare Turn my emotions this way and that I see the despair in my heart, emptiness of my mind The holes buried deep inside, bleeding slowly I wish I had a smile for myself. I turn my back on the reflection of myself Walk slowly away from the truth I don't see me anymore, inside or out My emotions hang by threads, I'd rather not feel I wish I had a smile for myself.
