In reply to Re: Down day - another poem The Mirror, posted by CarolAnn on July 31, 2000, at 13:53:54
It's very appropriate, in fact it's a little chilling because it really sums up how I've felt
the last couple of days. I look in the mirror and it's kind of like one of those zombie movies
where the zombie's souls are gone and they look all empty and hollow. I look at my reflection
and it's like the depression has taken my soul. Maybe I could drive down to "Souls 'R Us" at
lunch and get one. :-)
