Who Have I Become?

The mirror shows me who I am,
but who have I become?
Innocent eyes and a warm smile
faded by the sun.
A different person every time,
regret and hope mixed into one
as I sit here and ask myself,
“Who have you become?”

A fake smile on my face,
lying to everyone I see.
Living a life that isn’t mine.
Definitely, I agree.
Sitting here alone now,
and letting the tears fall free.
Once again, I ask myself,
“Who do you want to be?”

Caged like a bird
and here all alone,
I look into the mirror
I’ve always known.
I am a bird
that’s already flown.
And I say to myself,
“My, how much you’ve grown!”

Mommy’s little girl is gone,
that’s for sure.
And Daddy’s sweet little angel
discovered her fatal cure.
She’s been taken on a journey
to knock at the monster’s door.
Looking with glazed eyes –
“I don’t know you anymore.”

Lost deep inside
the monster’s hold.
Wait for the cards
to slowly fold.
The smile slowly fades
as my body becomes cold.
I see myself frown and say,
“This game is getting old.”
