Can it be me? In that reflection? Staring with those eyes?

Are those my lips? My hair, my face? Staring with surprise?

Am I so pale? Yet dark with cold? Do I shake that much?

Can that be me? A ghostly hand? That reaches out to touch?

Are those my nails? Chewed and torn? Weathered by my teeth?

Are those my knuckles? Tense and taught? Red, but white beneath?

Is that my blood? That runs so blue? Red, but blue in vein?

Can it be me? The mirror shows? This girl with so much pain?
