Eyes

I look deep into the mirror
I cannot see what I had before
I have lost so much of myself
I think that I shall lose some more
I yearn to be
What the others expect of me
To act in manner they see fit
I lose so much when I act that way
But things almost feel right when I am pretending

My eyes they hold the sorrow
Only memories hold what they once showed
By my memories are fading of who I was
Do I want to stay this way-
Trapped inside a body-
A dead shell of what I used to be-
What I could've been?

I wish that I could change back to who I was before
Before him
Before they got to me
But I can't find what it is that my eyes are missing
I am only a shadow of what I used to be.
