Who are you

She looked at her reflection.
Moving around to see if it did the same.
Making sure it was actually her.

Sometimes it felt like a different person.
A monster?
A stranger.
A victim.

What role did she originally play?
Having to change so many times,
Shes forgotten herself by now.

Shes played the mother.
Care giver to her little.
Sweet and gentle.
Protective of her cub.
Wiping away all the tears and fears-

Fear.
Thats familiar to her somehow.
Was she the monster?
Waiting to prey and breakdown the weak?
Ready.
To watch the blood flow from their-

Blood.
Yet another familiar word.
At one point she remembered being the victim..
Of what?

Did she scream?
Did she cry?
Did she ask for it to happen?
Did she just let it, happen?
Was it just a dream?

Sometimes she tried to break herself
So others couldnt have the pleasure.
Make herself bleed
So no-one else felt the need-

What did she need again?
To find her original role.
Memories seem to take their tole on her.
Maybe its best she slow down for a bit..
Maybe its best she just.
Forget.
