Reflection In the Mirror

As I stare into the mirror, the reflection I see looking back at me fills my heart with sadness and pain. I've forgotten what it's like to be strong. I look into the mirror for answers I cannot see. Staring for so long my eyes strain.... Where, oh where did I go wrong? I remember the better days. The ones filled with laughter and happier times. The days when I was me and only me. I've learned a little about being hard in many ways. Somewhere I lost sight of the signs. As if I were blind and could not see. The reflection in the mirror of someone I used to know She's laughing at me through my tears. It's more than my heart can hold. The feelings of sadness overflow. Reflection I pray take away my fears and make me feel forever bold.
