Into the Mirror I Stare

By Ginger

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

kicking and screaming i look in the mirrormy breath catches at what i see there.my face is bloody with claw marks and tears,horrors come and increase my fear.i beat my fist on the door frame,nothing will ever ever be the same.i take up the knife and slash at my arm,i don't worry about the harm.my soul pours out through the blood from the gashes,and i take the point and make more and more slashes.i can not stop from feeling these things,no one will understand the pain that it brings.my tears come fast and burn like fire,my eyes will not close it's like i never tire.my heart is full of demons and spirits,whatever i do i can not kill it.this urge to hurt myself remains,i have nothing to lose and everything to gain.my world becomes black and cold like a cave,even if i could understand i wouldn't be saved.no one else will everk know,these marks i do not let them show.so i stare into that mirror with tears in my eyes,decieveing everyone, even myself with my lies.
