Mirror Her

The Girl Within

By Latiesha SilasPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Somebody has been living in my closet and I know who it is.

It is my enemy, who was once my friend.

I shared my dreams and deepest secrets with her.

She lent a ear and was always there.

I was always happy when she was my friend.

I never thought that we will ever end.

One day she left me all heartbroken and lonely.

She allowed them to hurt me while acting phony.

My dreams weren't dreams they poof into nightmares.

Everything I had told her has been heard by others everywhere.

When I need someone to talk to she's not even there anymore.

She try to creep up every now and then, but I'm afraid things won't be like before.

Times when I'm shedding tears, a glance in the mirror and I'm reminded when I didn't have fears.

She'll smile and I'll just roll my eyes, walk away and go on with my day.

And days when I break down, I'll look at her and frown.

Asking question like what now, she'll answer with they only do what you allow.

You're smart and beautiful, step up and stop being usable.

We'll get on good terms, then I find myself running again.

Its sad to say I'm the enemy and she's the friend that lives within.

The moment I see a beautiful, eye catching natural scenery; I try to catch it. I have a passion for how the world has its beauty. So I catch the moment and write down whatever comes to mind about it (poem or inspirational quote).
