stepped in front of the mirror today
and this person I dont know was there
pathetic looking shredded soul
staring into my eyes as if to say
who the hell do you think you are
such a wretched site before mine eyes
I turn my head to look away
though I feel the burning inside
something I did not want to see
crept right into me with no warning
the shadow of who I once was
standing there in front of me
no escape from the reality
that I had so long hidden
decieving my own mind
no longer can i run away
sucking me into the void
an endless cycle of pain
stabbing into the depths
of every part of my soul
never ceasing, always bleeding
look at what ive become
what i never left behind
this fucking waste of skin
not worth the effort to breathe
break the mirror before you now
the glass will be your blade
plunge it as deep as you can
and take it all away
there will be no more
the pain will cease to be
its the right thing to do
fading into oblivion
its time to close my eyes
goodbye
