reflection.

you inspire me

to be nothing like you!

is that why i can see no way out?

only a sort of hopeless feeling,

only the same days on repeat

until there is nothing left to feel

& no one else to meet.

i wanted to see the world,

not my own empty eyes

staring back at me

from a dirty glass mirror

that will

never

sympathize, a striking reflection of my overflowing eyes.
