Girl in The Mirror

By Anjali Yadav

I look at myself in the mirror, 

You know, what I see? 

All I see is a girl looking back into my eyes... 

I lost myself in her stare... 

I wondered, who is this girl in the mirror? 

Who is she? 

A body with no soul, 

Eyes with no hope, 

Face covered with fake smiles, 

And a hard, clenched fist. 

Caught anger in her eyes And full of sadness..... 

Who is this girl in the mirror? Is it me? Really? 

No, no she can't be me.... 

Who is she? Silent all these years?

A lonely girl, with distressed look.

Tired face,with deep dark circles....

She has some silent stillness to her, 

Formed by her crystal tears. 

Broken into million pieces 

but trying to stay strong. 

Who is she? Is she really me? 

And as I stared 

For me in the mirror, slowly emerging I now see,

ohh, it is ME there 

The one the world has forgotten. 

I closed my eyes and looked away, 

Thinking; she faded away 

Leaving me standing in my place 

With empty forever smile upon my face 

Hoping it wasn't me... 

Then, who was the girl in the mirror?

Was it really me??
