Reminder

From time to time

Seeing yourself in the mirror and confused who you are.

The crack on the mirror gets bigger with each passing day.

Changing on the outside but with the same mentality inside.

When you care for others before putting yourself first.

Getting caught up in the drama seen on social media.

Hours wasting playing video games to put other things off.

Procrastinating till you can't anymore, being considered a slob.

Telling yourself lies to keep yourself afloat.

Not being phased by the pain that's brought with.

Being so far left field you can't see the balls being thrown.

Hitting another low, seeing your life unravel before you.

Realizing there are moments to be okay and not okay.

Falling to pieces, trying to mend the cracks.

With the question burning, without an answer.

Who am I when I look at myself?

Who have I become?
