As the expression goes,
'If I look in the mirror' who will I see?
Let's take this figuratively, not literally,
As literally, I don't much care for the mirror,
It's wrinkles I see and a sad slouched face I don't recognise looking back at me,
So perhaps the literal and figurative merge,
As I should see joy, strength, some wrinkles that only enhance the beauty that is me,
Yet beauty I don't feel,
I'm not a bad person, not even a selfish one, I don't think, (we're all rather self-absorbed),
So why if I look in that cursed mirror do I keep feeling pain, believing failure, and feel so frustrated and disappointed I want to pull that mirror right off the wall and obliterate it!
Obliterate me, obliterate the world around me, scream a blood curdling scream that breaks it all into,
Nothing.
Is there hope on the other side of nothing?
