Loss of Herself

She turns around
But sees nothing except for the reflection of herself
In many different mirrors

It's as if she's in a house of mirrors
Each one distorting her image
Hiding which one is her true self

She screams as she sees all of the different reflections of herself
Her screams echo the room
But the reflections don't scream with her
They laugh at her pain

One image steps forward
It comes out of the mirror
And speaks to her
Letting her know that she is not in control
Making sure she is aware of her helplessness

That image reaches out to her and takes her hand
Caressing it as if they were lovers
Telling her to let go
To stop fighting
Asking her if she will let it
Take control

She wants to resist
But cannot find the will inside of her
To make it go away
She knows she has no choice
As she nods her head
And lets it inside of her
And enters into the dark
Of the unknown
