175.Me

A complete strangers
Stares back at me
As I look in the mirror
Searching for my reflection.
The carefree woman I was
Has been lost.

To my surprise
There stands a woman
Who is judged
For what she speaks and does.
While performing her duties.
No more there is a need
To be understood
No more she can be herself
Things have changed.

I get a daunting feeling
One which won't disappear
These changes are irreversible
The mirror reflects the change
This complete stranger is now me.
