Shattered Mirror

I feel as if my heads going to explode.

It's constantly pounding.

I always feel pressure to be around, to "exist."

I feel weighed down.

Something is pulling at me again,

but I can't see it.

Nothing seems to be there.

I can put on that fake face everyone

wants to see. The face people expect.

When I turn away it all falls apart.

I feel like I'm being emotionally stabbed.

None of it can be seen until I look into the mirror.

When I see the reflection staring back at me,

I lose it. I break down.

It all starts in the reflection of a mirror.

Nothing is ever going to be the same.

My life feels like a taunting reflection.

My mind is a shattered mirror.
