Can't Stand My Own Reflection
I cannot stand who I've become
Cannot stand my own reflection
This person I view in the mirror
With no grasp of time or direction
Expectation destroying tender brain
Watching it chase thoughts around
Want to corrall the wayward beasts
To some corner to never be found
Time keeps doing *****
Throwing me place to place
I attempt to assert dominance
It responds by quickening pace
Fearing not the days passing
But my use of how many given
Not for lack of trying you see
I work hard but most days aren't worth living
My arms too weak to carry this load
My dreams too disobedient
Walls are whispering to eachother
Starting to question my sanity and sense
I cannot see my image clearly
Behold no beauty in my eyes
Pacing through flaws as I please
Every night escape with highs
Struggling to remember who I was before
Lost important parts of my soul
Wish I had done things differently
I'd sacrifice all I own to again be whole
I look at myself in the mirror and can't help but think I'm the worst version of myself I could possibly be
