Eyes in the Mirror

Eyes in the Mirror

I look in the mirror
And all that I see
Is a strange being
Staring out at me.

It has my face,
It has my eyes.,
It examines my soul,
It fills me with lies.

It says I have class,
It says I have style.
Its words like ground glass,
Its smile drips bile.

Its mirth is toxic
Its words are insane.
“Do what you will
No matter the pain.”

“The world, it owes you,
For you was it produced.”
The words they are tempting,
My will is reduced.

The lies have convinced,
The lies are believed.
For if they ring true,
The guilt is relieved.

The faces I than see,
I feel the retched pain.
I now know that it’s not real,
My center will not sustain.

It comes in a flash,
It comes with a shock.
It makes the thoughts flow,
It makes me take stock.

The world was created
Not for you nor for me
The world was created for no One,
But We.
