The mirror casts a reflection, but I don't recognize it.
The eyes are mine
the nose is mine
the face is mine
But it does not look like it is mine.
The eyes are tired
the face is exhausted
even the voice sounds wrong.
The eyes were empty, hollow.
I say my name
The face in the mirror does not move.
The name sounds wrong,
like a stranger's name.
But not mine.
I reach out to touch something
It is not there
I look around.
It is a black abyss.
Only with the thing I think is myself.
I try to scream, and shout
gain the attention of anyone, anything.
No use.
Waiting for someone to join.
Someone to save me from the abyss
From this darkness
and the pain I suffer from.
I am stuck in the abyss
Waiting for the savior
For my knight in shining armor
Until then, this is a pain I am forced to wear
Like soaking wet clothes on my back
Waiting until it stops being so heavy, or when it dries.
