Reflection

I looked in the mirror

Just like any day

Expecting to see messy hair

Nothing unusual there

But as I gazed in the glass

The lighting low

I touched a face 

That I didn't know

Her eyes were large

And sunken and sad

Absent a shine

That she no longer had

Her face was gaunt

And pale like a ghost

A face without peace

A face without hope

The corners of her mouth

Tilted down with despair

As she hugged her own waist

Waiting for someone to care

I looked in the mirror today

But I don't know who stared back

Unless that really was me

And my stars faded to black

Author's Note

I just looked in the mirror and this is what I saw...I was a bit surprised...
God bless
