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
