Reflection
Phoe Apr 2021
A glimpse through the mirror and I see myself, at least I know it's me in the reflection but, I don't see a man, I see a boy... A broken boy

What happened? - I asked- Is this why you long for time to stop? To "catch up"?
The boy shrugs and open his eyes, only to reveal a glazed, "lifeless" reflection in them

What could ever had happened to stop you from growing up?
"Growing up?" - I could read from the boy's voiceless lips.
It appears that the boy is unaware that 20 years have passed by... And he's still the same.

What a misfortune, time moving around you but not through you... I just wish that you find a way to stop being frozen, as I can't reach through the mirror to help you out...

Unable to move on
Can't go back
Here I lie
Frozen in time

You could say I am dead
For life is about moving
Yet I still breathe
So I don't know what I am

I try to stay awake
But sleeping is all I can do
Dreaming of a better life
A life where I can walk

But when dreams
are full of color
Waking in the darkness...
Brimful with struggle

I remember the times
When I could see in the dark
But I got acquainted with colors
And I no longer can

Now I need a light to see
Light that I don't have
Never knew where to find it
For I never needed it

I don't know if,
Before the colors
It was better
But I can't go back

Going back...
Wishful thinking
Going forward..
A hopeless struggle

I just wish everything else
Got frozen in time
For time is the one thing
I need to find a light

A light so I can once again
See in the dark...

My darkness inside

Words unspoken
and thoughts unheard
Just my everyday life
Yet here I am
Lying in bed
with thoughts racing through my mind
and feelings flooding my body

Feelings that can't be reasoned
and thoughts bound to no consciousness
both emerging from one desire
the desire to be free
to find the one place
where they can flow unchained

As the letters get written
the thoughts get clearer
and the feelings calm down
for they know this will reach
their peaceful place.

— The End —
