The Mirror
Lies hung a mirror
And in this mirror she sees
Not her accomplishments
But her failures.
She sees a well-travelled path .
Weighing decisions that had already been made,
She hears whispers from the past.
Her mind is drowning.
Her eyes are narrowed.
Her soul is grounded.
Her dreams are reshaped.
She now dreams of being anyone but herself.
