A POEM A DAY 333
REFLECTION Who is this woman Staring back at me With pained deadness In her eyes She couldn’t be me This mirror deceives And surely distorts I close my eyes To clear the haze But when they open There she remains A lost and listless soul I still don’t recognize her For the light in her…
