The Storm Within

Who is that girl,

in the mirror,

staring back at me?

My mind is like the spider.

My thoughts,

trapped in it’s web.

Words, said in anger,

I don’t really mean.

A heart so sad,

her tears, fall like rain.

As I fight to control,

this storm, from within.

Now it’s plain to see,

the reflection doesn’t lie.

As the face, belongs to me.
