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
