The Mirror
By Alice_I_Wonder
The person looking back at me
When will it be who I am inside?
I am no longer who I once was
Lost in time, the innocence wanders.
The vessel I see is hollow,
No life, no soul.
I see the emptiness in the eyes
The magic taken away with time.
Once, the person looking back was me
This surface lies, this is not me.
Too long since I've pondered
Who this is looking back at me
I tell myself this must be who I am
The person inside screams to come out.
When was I over taken.
This person looking back is not me.

This feels full of contempt for who they've become. . And a certain nostalgic love for who they were. ... they need to continue down the path to grow from experiences and become a more beautiful version of the past. A decent read, thanks for posting.
