She’s in my house,
Wherever I go she goes.
She’s always there in the mirror,
Staring right back at me.

But who is she?
Who is this unknown stranger?
She’s like a ghost,
Always there.

I would never recognize her in a million years,
She is me.
Or who I used to be…
The shell of whom I was previously.

Before I learned how cold the world really was,
Before I tasted pain,
When I thought the world was magic,
I used to recognize myself…

But now my reflection has changed,
Somebody that I used to know stares at back at me.
Hoping I will change…
It’s funny how reflections change.
She’s in my house,
Wherever I go she goes.
She’s always there in the mirror,
Staring right back at me.

I was inspired by the fact that everyone and everything is not how they used to be, and also how they chnage over time.
