As I gaze into the mirror
I see one thing - myself
Words cannot express
The horror that word inflicts on me
But am I me?
Or merely a shadow in a world of darkness?
Have I a will of own?
Or do others decisions
Build me then shred me to bits?
No, I can't be me
I'm better than this
Yet, look at me.
I must crack this shell
The weakness is there
I need only push.......
There... another crack
Another scar
Things are fixing
All the world sees are these cracks
They want me imprisoned
Shackled to flesh
Confined to faith
But I'm still winning
Perhaps this monster, "Myself",
Is what need be
Yes... I can see him swimming
In those deep hazel pools
Thrashing at his skin
Begging for freedom
Teeth unveiled in a
Seamless full grin
Yet with the heart
And mindset of a child
He wants to play
I have decided
I'm no longer going by the rules
After all it's time
For recess.......
