She looks into the mirror

Wondering what she sees

Is it her

Or

Is it me?

We are no longer sure

Which is which?

We share a body

And a heart

But as days go by

I move further in

And let her take over

She is strong

I am weak

She is beauty

I am the beast

She laughs

I cry

She’s wild

She’s free

I’m tame

I’m caged

I watch her bring the pain in

On her arms and on her soul

I know I should speak up

Become happy

But I’m to tired to live

I watch her move

From man to man

Watch her try different things

I watch her loose

All control

But still be wildly beautiful

I watch my demons

Face her

And I watch them turn to run

She fights them off

With skin

To blade

With drink to lips

A smoke to lungs

She’s not afraid to die

She welcomes death into her home

Who is she?

Why is she here?

She's me

But she isn’t
