I see a girl
In my blurry reflection
But she doesn't seem like me
Who is that?
That can't be me
But yes it is
It's the person I've become
I don't recognize myself
What has happened?
Depression
That's what
It's made me someone else
A Dark, twisted soul
It's changed me in ways
I never thought possible
I was a happy
Care free girl
But then this sick
Emotion struck me
When I least excepted it
And turned me into what I'am today
A dark, sad, cutter
My reflection doesn't look nice
And when I look in my eyes
I see a sadness
I see a girl lost
In her own soul
Trying to fight her way out
My eyes reveal everything
They are the window to my soul
And my soul is crying
And it's screaming for help
But yet no one hears
No one can hear it's
Loud high pitched screams
I still stand there
Staring at my reflection
But the sadness in my eyes
Is too much
So I look down...and walk away
