"My Reflection"- A poem by Nikkii Lynn

[heirofbadness]

Green-blue eyes stare at me
Beaneath tossels of blonde hair
A hand tucks the golden locks
Behind a listening ear

I know this girl
Everyday I see her
And I wish to say
That she is loved

The shadow of doubt
Washes over her face
As I reach out to her
Yet hit a solid barrier

The girl frowns
And I know
What she is thinking
"Why me?"

I want to help her
Through the struggles
Her life brings
But it's useless

She cries now
And tears run down
That sad, sad face
I know so well

As she is enveloped
In a cloud of darkness
I realize one thing:
This is my reflection
