Mirror

I look into the mirror
But there's nothing there
Not my golden brown skin
Or my long hair

I stare into nothing
An nonexistent reflection
There is no sign of life
No sign of completion

Just an empty shell
Occupying space
I move unnoticed
Showing little emotion on my face

I close my eyes, hoping
That when they open I'll see me
My life has changed
I'm not the same I used to be

My eyes open
They take in what's there
They see my golden brown skin
And my long hair
