Who Is She That Stares Back At Me

I looked at my reflection the other day I didn't know the girl who looked back at me Her eyes were so cold, so distance Her mind trapped waiting to be set free Through her eyes I see she is so empty Looks as if her soul is gone Looks as if there is ice where her heart use to be I can tell only tears fill her life and she is unhappy I looked at my reflection the other day When I looked at her she turned the other way. . . .

Breana, this is so profound! We often stare in the mirror and wonder what it is we are seeing. Very beautiful, Carolyn
