Staring Back
Tears fill my eyes, while pain fills my heart
I feel a knot growing in my stomach
I feel sick as my soul goes dark
I look into the mirror
Who is that? It cannot be me
I eye the stranger, I feel disgusted
I watch as her hands touch her stomach
As she lifts her shirt I cannot look away
It’s right there, a flab on indecency
I want to be sick. I want to look away
I then see the darkness from with in
But I look up and see its me
I cry soft sobs as I look again
What has become of me?
How can this be?
I kick the mirror and it shatters to the floor
I watch my self-fade away I pick up a shard
I looked myself in eye as I said goodbye
Now I will forever only see the dark
