Reflection

"I'm okay." I think as I pull myself up,

Another day was to pass,

No matter the hurt and pain I feel

I will be fine, I always was.


I look up, into my own reflection

The mirror showing me the opposite

Of who I really am, on the inside,

Such a difference? It hit.


I'm fading, ain't I?

I wonder as I look at my hands in worry

They do look very fine to me,

But my reflection - it's blurry.


Maybe because of those tears 

Swimming in my eyes?

But why? Ain't I perfectly fine,

my spirits on the rise?


Well, I do seem to be fading

A dull pain pounds in my body, might I go away?

Yet I shall never leave hope that someday after that,

I will reborn and be somebody.
