In the mirror, my cracked reflection
I hate this face
This imperfect body
My life is useless
So fucked up
I wish I could cover my ears and scream
and make it all go away
But the past always lingers a few feet behind me
My head filled with images of forgotten people
with no faces and no names
Shadows lurking in the corners
Afraid to go near them but my body forces me to
I can't keep battling these demons
They'll get the best of me, I know it
That time is soon
I feel it
The air is heavy with the stench of depression
Horrible visions flash before me
Of death
Pain
Destruction
My own blood pouring into a pool of blackness
I call out for help
but no sound escapes my mouth
I lurch forward in pain and fear
Suddenly I'm falling into a dark mist
far far below me
I'm almost to the ground...
At this moment, I look away from my reflection
And all is normal again...when I'm not looking into my own eyes
