As I look in the mirror I don't recognize who I see,
The girl looking back is just an echo of who I used to be,
I'm just a double exposure the real me isn't there,
I'm in another realm floating through the air,
I fear I do not belong,
Like a ghost that should move on,
I hardly remember the person I used to be,
Like a taped over cassette I've become a distant memory,
Who am I now where have I gone,
This person inside just feels so wrong,
I want to be whole again and not a photocopy of the past,
I'm hoping one day I can be whole at last.
