What's inside

Mirror, mirror

What's inside

i can't do it anymore.

It's just too overwhelming

It shouldn't be this hard but it is

I look in the mirror and I don't see myself anymore

I've changed over time can't figure out if it's a good or bad thing

I'm not where I wanted to be in life. I can't even find the path.

Walking down the street seeing my reflection, I see parts of me but as a whole, I see a whole other person

I really want to know who this whole other person in the reflection is.

Because I forgot what beauty looks like
