She wonders what happened.
She looks in the mirror and sees her evil reflected.
That's what she thinks anyway.
She asks herself "Will my hands be stained red with his blood? Will I stain him with mine?"
Am I who I think I am?
Am I evil?
Am i something that never should of happened?
Is everything my fault as I have been told?
Can I get through this?
She wonders all this to herself alas always too afraid to express these thoughts out loud.
She wants to be free of this endless guilt.
But, she is always blamed.
She always thinks its her fault.

The author's comments:
The thing that inspired me to write this was the feeling of endless guilt. It seems like everyone told me anything that happened was my fault. I hope people can learn from this poem and remember never believe you are the cause of every problem whether its with family , relationships, or friendships.
