Mirror Image

by

Sherene Delgado

I gaze into the mirror to look at my own reflection
The image of a person who is now only a shadow of herself
The innocence finally gone
I no longer have hope
Hope that there is still good in the world
I'm not who I once was
I'm not what I wanted to be
I see the chaos I make around me
Yet I have no remorse for those I've hurt
For those who once cared about me
Who now look at me with only anger in their eyes?
I became my own worst enemy out of fear of the world
Fear of letting others come close to me
Fear of them rejecting me for being who I am
There is nothing but chaos in my life
I feel nothing but hate
I know my hate will finally cause my end
But I don't care anymore
I welcome it
Maybe then I can find peace
Peace that I could never find in my life
