A Stranger Within

Closing my eyes and wishing not to see,
The person who appears in the mirror in front of me.

This stranger I've come to realize has no heart at all,
Mocking my tears as they fall.

Who is this girl I used to know but no longer recognize?
With a sickening personality that I have come to despise.

Tired of this outsider and how she forces this fake smile,
Never will understand what it is that makes her so hostile.

I've loved and lost but that's no excuse for her to act this way,
She is going to learn that it's my rules she has to obey.

I will repair the confidence that she relentlessly beat on,
Then when I open my eyes it'll be her reflection that is gone.
