Mirror

I look into the mirror

In the dim moonlight,

That fills the small room

Carpeted from wall to wall,

The same walls

That have witnessed my

Slow spiral into insanity,

From the accumulation

Of long sleeves,

To the scale

That i stepped on once,

And constantly ever since.

And as i stare into the mirror,

I see it shows me

A withered girl,

With crazy hair

From my hands pulling at it

As if i were trying to hang on

To sanity,

It shows me the lines on my

Sunken face,

And my darkened eyes

That have lost all hope,

It reflects the tears

That glisten in the moonlight.

It sees what truly is,

Not what others see
