This is a poem about what I see in my eyes when I look at myself in the mirror.
"The Mirror"

I stare into the mirror
looking myself in the eye
wondering what I'm doing
watching myself cry

This has become my ritual
Staring into those green eyes
Trying to see into my own soul
Always asking myself why

Why have I come to this place?
Why do all of my emotions sway?
I've lost the definition of myself
Or have I let it be taken away?

I'm floating in a sea of emotion
One I've created with my own tears
I want to cry out, but hold it back
Concealing the inner voice no one hears.
