My Lost Self

I woke up this morning
and walked past the mirror
suddenly
I stopped to see in terror
is it me in there or is it not?
something has changed
I remember
my eyes were not so sad
I remember
my face was not so pale
what happened?
Ah! now I remember
I have been robbed
I have been stolen
I have been violated
my dignity....
my humanity...
myself,
now I'm not surprised
when I walk past the mirror
and see this dull creature
which is
me
