She cries and writhes on the floor
as her reality unfolds...

She looks in the mirror
What does she see...

Stranger
in my own skin...

Look at me
Look deeper...

No one is around when she falls apart
She just falls silently until, finally...

A flash of lightning
A cowering child...

Trapped
inside myself...

Afraid of moving
Moving forward...

She stood staring at her reflection in the mirror
She saw a teen, age fifteen...

On my knees again
Praying for another miracle...

You never deserved her
You never deserved her love, her hugs, her beauty...

I didn't expect the man I saw
I expected tall, scary, powerful...
