So weird, the destiny of my heart,,which simply doesn't understand the realms of my own desire !!

how i try to break free of this engulfing power...the smoke that tries to capture me in its claws..scathing my soul raw and deep..leaving my emotions bleeding on the floor..

Is this me ??


For so long...looking into the mirror
I saw only a reflection of an image,
a stranger looking back at me.

When looking into my eyes,
I saw only an emptiness, a void.

Beneath those eyes were many fears,
fears of pain,
fears of sorrow,
feelings of no hope.

How could I not know this face,
as I stand staring it in the mirror?

Where is that person that I used to be,
why can't I see?

Turning again looking into the mirror,
I saw my life,
one that had gone out 
like a candle being extinguished.

What reflected back from that mirror
was a stranger looking back at me.

Standing there feeling so alone,
 lost and  confused,
 the fear set in, where was this person
I called ME?
