I am wondering how, where,
and when it all started.
I found myself questioning the essence of my existence.
Born in this undying cycle of life...
Why am I breathing?
Where am I going?
I saw darkness... where does it lead me?
I saw myself, it's vagueness!
A reflection of a lady.
An image who's still uncertain of reality...
Then, a flashback...
A child... sweet lil girl,
smiling and laughing...
Later on,
tears fell down on the eyes of the child.
Tears of loneliness, tears of getting hurt.
In the eyes of the child,
I saw the real innocence.
The indescribable motive when she cried.
Suddenly... light comes!
Back to my own reflection in the mirror.
I closed my eyes.
Smiled when I opened them,
If only I can still be a child.
