Mirror, Mirror Essay, Research Paper

Broken mirror on the wall

What to say as the pieces fall?

A shattered vision, a broken dream

Life is never as it seems.

Darkly ghosts and hateful screams

Bloody nightmares, fluorescent beams

Scorching the air, burning the pages

Killing life for evil wages

I see my hands and shredded skin

As pieces of glass glisten from within.

From my blood the demons dine

Killing the name, destroying mine.

As the thoughts above

Coming close, and drawing near

Dreadful cries for all to hear.

I look to the mirror,

My shredded face,

Broken pieces for all to taste.

My eyes they glow a bloody red

What lies ahead I truly dread

Can I survive? Will I last?

Can my present consume the past?
