Reflected Darkness

The shadow I see

in the mirror staring down at me

I can't explain

But I know i can't escape it's gaezz

I can't escape

what I've been forced to

be

apart of

No matter how much I try

But sometimes I would see

the child I

used to be

With those big eyes

filled with bigger dreams an warm innocence

Or I would see the ghost

of the children of past lives I used to be

An their lives cut short

by the the shadow that looms behind me

Or I would see

me

I'm now something filled with sorrows of hidden scars

an stained skin

With Vivid memories

and haunting dreams
