“Be quick Gemini!”
My ears are ringing as I stumble in the bathroom,
My eyes raining bitter tears,
Looking into the mirror,
I am startled,
There is a face looking back at me,
But she is not me,
Yet,
I seem to know her,
She does not look like me but moves when I move,
Her dull grey-blue eyes are staring back at me,
Her pale complexion and cracked lips give an edge to her appearance,
I close my eyes and then open them again,
The strange girl is gone and me with my rosy cheeks replaces her,
My bright blue eyes sparkling with energy,
“I am done Amy!”
