when I look in the mirror only to find a stranger it frightens me. this other girl, she smiles she laughs she dances she is loved. she's beautiful then I go look at my reflection in the muddy puddle I only find a sad ugly girl that hopes for love I check the mirror again no one there I'm gone?

Lights Center stage A Sweet melody that haunts starting slow it crescendos becoming a mournful hymn I'll display my heart in these few moments I am happy the climax comes left almost breathless an interlude follows soft tears fall a few bars left I grasp at the final notes my song comes to an end and silence is all that follows

      In light of all of the festivities      all the people a blur      the fake pretty smiles      my relatives incomprehensible chatter      an impromptu reunion      I stood utterly alone      I was lost in a sea of strangers      and somehow I forgot how to swim      My lungs hurt and no one heard my screams      I ended up a shadow in the corner      the silence so bittersweet      and for a time i began to regain my sanity
