Standing in front of the mirror. I see a girl looking back at me. She looks familiar but I can’t recall.

She looks sad, tired, lifeless. Looks like her colour got drained out. Her eyes. So big yet so cold. It has no shimmer. Doesn’t sparkle like it used to.

She touches her limp hair. What happened? Where did the thick lustrous black hair go? Friends used to envy her hair. Wanted to know tips to it.

She looked down, rubbed her extremely flat tummy. It hurts inside. Where does all the food she consume go to? She can feel her chest tightening. It hurts but no medication can cure it.

She turns around, looking at her rear. There was once a bum. But now its just ugly crumply space at her pants.

She stretches her leg forward. She now has ghostly white legs. Gone were the days she’d run around enjoying the sun. Gone was her playtime.

Who’s that girl looking right back at me?
I don’t know her anymore.
