As I look into the mirror, I don’t see myself anymore.
I see someone who has grown over time killing herself again and again.
I have grown responsible, professional and compliant.
I listen to my elders, my boss, my peers and my friends.
I have grown to be someone liked by everyone.
Successfully getting into this endless fight with myself
Earning respect and appreciation from everyone around.
In the process, I have lost the only thing that I had. Myself.
I forgot who I used to be, what I liked and how wanted things to be.
Looking back, trying to find myself, I can only see darkness
A hollow feeling of nothingness, of things that never existed.
I lost that little girl in me long back even without a hint.
As I look into the mirror today, I see a girl, living in circumstances, living by all terms that work the best for others.
I don’t see myself anymore, I see someone who has killed herself over and over again to get adjusted to the world around.
In the process, a part of me died every single minute and disappearing from the Universe altogether.
My soul being ripped into pieces has been dying a slow death, every inch at a time,
My dreams, hopes, and wishes left long ago,
Only the soul that I am left with that I am recklessly trading with.
As I look into the mirror, I see a girl, playing with fire,
Burning a part of herself every minute with
A Smile on her face, waiting for the end.
