Mirror

by Cindy   Sep 24, 2007


I look in the mirror each and everyday,
I can't believe that I changed myself in each and every way.

I use to be so happy, so sure of who I was, but lately I'm like a stranger to myself,
It feels like I really am someone else.

I use to be so confident I didn't care what people thought of me,
Now I hide in a shell so scared that someones going to see.

See who I really am,
See how I changed who I was, all because I fell in love with a man.

We were in love but I messed it up, now you won't come back to me even though I have given you my heart,
I changed who I was because I didn't want to be apart.

I tried to be the person you wanted me to be,
The truth about it is I pushed you further away from me.

Now I sit all alone wondering how do I go back to who I was before,
How do I make my heart not love him anymore?

I can't go back to who I was before, It's like I'm in a deep black hole,
I can't get out until I find a way to let you go.

I look in the mirror each and everyday,
I can't believe that I changed myself in each and every way.

    It's a pitty that we can't turn back the hands of time, if we could, there is way too many things that we would like to change. But unfotunetly we cannot.

    nice piece and well expressed.
