Poem Story: Have you looked in the mirror? Feeling lost. The trick of reflection. At a cost
Tags: True Story
Have you looked in the mirror, who are you supposed to be?
Haunted by the shadows, seeing your invisable scars.
Growing up twisted, being with you is worse by far,
Abuse in our veins, damn, that’s how we were made.
We are finally happy, so why can’t we let go?
Chains of our past still grip, like a chokehold.
Flicking through the pages, but the ink won’t dry,
Lost in this maze, every corner we cry.
Feeling like a ghost, forever in the dark,
Suicide whispers, singing that old song.
Fighting with you, dreaming of a break from this mind,
But it will never happen, im stuck with you no matter the joy I find.
We are finally happy, so why can’t we let go?
Chains of the past still grip, like a chokehold.
Flicking through the pages, but the ink won’t dry,
Lost in this maze, every corner we cry.
Anxiety creep in, like a thief in the night,
Got to wrestle your demons, damn, this isn’t right.
Being surrounded by people who want to help us,
Not being able to show them we are tired of the constant fight.
So you scream to the void, tell me what’s the cost?
Trying to find your peace, but you’re feeling lost.
Humbled by the struggle, but I’m trying to feel alright,
No more dead weight, my future in sight.
We are finally happy, so why can’t we let go?
Chains of the past still grip, like a chokehold.
Flickin’ through the pages, but the ink won’t dry,
Lost in this maze, every corner we cry.
With every step, I feel the fire,
A heart reborn, a soul inspired.
I’ll keep the memories, but let them fade,
I’m moving forward, unafraid.
I’m building my life, piece by piece,
In independence, I’ll find my peace.
You’ll stay in my past, where you belong,
And I’ll become the person I always dreamed I could become.
