Insanity is a Broken Mirror
It’s that moment when you stand face to face Staring down your own reflection in the tall vanity mirror
What you have just done The mother who made you cry---------I hate you The mother who you made cry---------I wish you would die What’s been done to you
The twist of her frowning lips Brows crooked down Eyes narrowed and fists balled No wonder the little sister sits Motionless, afraid to breathe No wonder the dog slunk off And… The father that was never there
The face in the mirror is not so different From hers The way your eyes are so hard The way your expression warps I wish you would die
The reflection in the mirror holds you still – No, you are holding the reflection still? That red face doesn’t feel this searing heat The blistered tears dripping on your shirt Not even the constricted blaze in your chest Mirror you is cold, surreal, empty, and this you doesn’t bleed
The sound of your own pulse Reminds you that time throbs on Your reflection is holding you so immobile You can’t breathe I wish you would die
Either you must go on a being of fire Or you must go on cold and blank
You lunge – Or maybe you in the mirror moved first? Two reflected clenched fists converge at the same spot I hate you! I wish you would die!
It wasn’t the sound when a glass falls and smashes It was more the sound when you stomped on the family picture It wasn’t the sound you’d expect to hear when you had killed something
Your hand comes back towards your body Like it isn’t yours It’s crying crimson tears A spider web distorts your face with a splotch of scarlet Nine images of your own face leer at you still
Did the mirror win?
Or can you only kill yourself? <span id="test26137901">. . .</span><br/><div id="post26137901" style="display:none; margin-right:75px;"> </div>
