Mirrors
noah dixon Mar 2018
Seeing my reflection breaking away
Slowly with every joke and every comment
Till all I can see are the flaws they label me with
Why am I so brittle
That they can hurt me like this
And so flimsy
That I wont even tell them how much it hurts
Why are they so blind
That they don't see my reflection breaking away

We watch them every day
Living through hell
While we overindulge and feel the joys of life

Why don’t we see the misery all around us
Why don’t we feel their pain
Why are we ok with ignoring their cries for help

Are we all ok with their suffering
Are we so selfish that we value our belongings over their lives
Or are we just all asleep dreaming of a world where we don't have to feel uncomfortable when they ask for our money

When will we no longer be ok with their suffering
When will their lives come before our trinkets
When will we finally awake to see the people we hurt everyday

Until then we will continue to
Watch them every day
Living through hell
While we overindulge and feel the joys of life

— The End —
