An Unrecognizable Place

by Amy - Virgo - Not entered

What has brought me to this unrecognizable place?
I gaze into the mirror of my inner self
Searching for answers amongst chaos
And in my eyes, I see only a hauntingly familar sadness.
I look deeper still 
and recognize a faint glimmer of laughter and hope
Struggling to survive against an enclosing circle of grief.
In the dark recesses of my soul
I grasp obsessively for the happiness
I now know only through my children.
Hoping one day to smile again
Allowing my pain and I to coexist
In a world with no answers.
