The morning dull - the sky is grey,
A beginning to another withered day!!!
I see a woman in the mirror -
Do i know her ... i do recognize her!
She used to be happy and full of cheer,
Now the lips droop and eyes are full of despair!
Who is it .... do i know you?
I'm scared the answer is going to be yes ....
Afraid and scared to accept the truth -
To see and believe what is left of me - a waste!!
Who stands there in the battered frame?
I answer to ther very same name ...
How have i managed to do this?
I'm breathing but i do not live!!
When did it happen .... when did the burdens get so heavy?
When did i turn into this woman so dreary?
Where is the sparkle ... the twinkle ... the shine ...
When was the laughter and joy replaced by this monotonous whine?
Where i wonder is the will to live ....
I know i still have a lot to give!!
Who has done this to me -
Why do i feel tired and old?
It must have been me , if truth be told ...
No one has the power to torture another soul!!
I will find the courage to be -
I will turn into 'me' again -
All lives deal with misery here -
Why should I be the only one to complain!!
I will stand up - live and smile again -
The sun has just risen - its a bright and sunny day!!!
