You stand there staring at me
Like I did something bad
Like I was a guilty for something but what?
All I could do was stare back
Who is she? What does she want?
I just kept looking and staring and wondering but
She looked sad, heartbroken
What happened to her?
Where’s her smile, her laugh and happy looking joyful face?
Then I just remember I was staring at myself in the mirror.

I am an artist bound only for the poet&#039;s glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

Great twist at the end, I think it's a little bit of what we all see in the  mirror!

This is really good :) I didn't expect the ending, I kinda expected it to be sappy and cliche, but it was really cool.
