Looking at the reflection in front of me,

I see a mirrored image of someone,

someone far from myself.

The person looking back at me

looks tired, dark circles under her eyes,

lids growing heavier with each second.

She looks drained,

physically, emotionally, and mentally

drained.

Hidden behind her eyes are

undiscovered secrets,

tucked away, never to be seen.

Lies hide behind her tears,

behind her glossy eyes

that cover her fears.

Her soul appears to be shattered,

broken,

but no one will ever notice.

No one will ever say anything,

because no one will ever care.

No one will care to find the secrets

hidden behind closed doors,

No one will see deep enough

into her soul to discover it's pain,

the desperation to be free.

She will continue to live as she is -

hidden, trapped, and broken.
