Mirror

I climb within the mirror I stare at

I accept every detail that couldn’t be hand picked

This mirror only speaks truth

As my eyes align with the mirror’s, it all clicks

I have to get to know this person

I am my own stranger

You never see yourself as a danger

But today I stare deeper than usual into this mirror

Confusion collects its coins

Illusion itches to escape its cage

I let it.....

I can’t force myself to look away

I have to stay.....

This mirror is the closest I get to sanity

The closest I get to the answers I ask of

The only thing stopping me from feeling like I am here.....just because
