She looks in the mirror and sees herself, Sad and lost, with pain in her eyes. Tears glisten in the corners, Threatening to spill over the brims And down her rosey cheeks. She stares at herself and wonders, How did she get this way? Where did hope turn to dismay? When did smiles turn to tears? She can't place the answers to these questions, All she can do is stare back at her pain-filled eyes. She feels lifeless and cold inside, She wonders where everything went wrong, Chokes back the tears, and pretends everything's fine.
