My Reflection

my heart's emptiness fills with pain
while sorrow accompanies my guilt
my tears can't wash it all away...
i dig deep inside my soul
but all i see is a cold, black hole
dark like a starless night
cold like an arctic winter
i see dejection in my sight
as i stare into this hollow mirror...
that cannot be me
drastically i've changed
from my eyes flow tears
that have left many stains
i lack importance, but i long to succeed
no one will attempt to understand me
the girl i see in the mirror's image
is the only companion i'll ever have
everyone leaves me and runs away...
this reflection shows me the truth
this is what i really am
a reject, a loner, unloved, discarded
constantly disappointed and disheartened
i long to be something everyone likes
beautiful, pleasant, thoughtful and content
i'm always their last consideration
i try and fail at every attempt
i see a disturbed, lonely girl
who just wants to be told she's loved
she dreams of the day when everyone accepts her
but she'll never be good enough.
