Cancer Reflections

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is this that I see?

I'm not the girl from weeks ago

I want to find that me

I ask myself each day and night

Where did my old self go?

But maybe there is light ahead

I'm hoping this is so

I can't deny the dread ahead

When I stare back at me

How long will this go on and on

Until I feel more free?

The pain and sutures in my chest

Please give me hope I pray

I still can't look too close, O mirror

Please heal my heart this day!
