Skin Deep

The mirror lies
Reflecting only skin
And none of self.
Souls are hidden inside.
My eyes are blank
Inside the depths of glass
Where is the life
Where is the light?
Where am I?
Skin is clean
No bruises
No cuts
Where are my scars
What have I accomplished?
And have nothing to show for.
My mouth is open
Words frozen inside
Sounds are meaningless
Empty syllables void of emotion.
Where is my mind?
Ears closed
Words Thoughts Feeling All stopped
from reaching me
Unable to understand.
Why can't I know?
Where am I?
This face
This mirrorI look to see
Someone who is not me
They have my eyes, my mouth, my nose.
But the soul
My soul is gone.
Empty smiles
Void eyes
Personality is gone
And only skin remains.
