The mirror is silent
The room startled
In an altered state
Everything familiar
dissimilar
Would I hear more if
This one was mine?
If in this mirror this one is reversed
And I am stunned
Is the me beneath this face
Before the glass
As shocking in the familiar
As it is empty before me now?

The world is flipped
With odd angles
And strange curves
It has a bit too much
Or maybe it's not enough
Words invert
Shapes mutilate
Atoms overreact
Emotions are switched
Truths are lies
Happiness is an emotional overload
Stress builds up
When's the combustion point?
When does it all become
Too much
Or maybe not enough
When do the tears flow up
When do our smiles shatter
Like glass
When does time end
In a distorted reality
When does time flow
Backwards
Or is it sideways
Odd thoughts become more
Abundant
Your view tilted
40° to the left
Body shifted 32°
To the right
When does end
Where is the clarity
Like putting on glasses
For the first time
Everything snaps into
Focus
Is that my reality?

Run and run and run in place
All our efforts
Are such a waste

When we work
In such simple opposition
We cannot help but
Let go of firm position

Release
Your grasp upon yourself
Silence your cry for another's help
We have choked out our inner peace

There is nowhere
Safe left
When you have two people
Living in your head
**Title is archaic Greek.

I don't know.
I keep trying to be two people at once. It's not working very well.
Sorry this *****. Writing isn't going well at the moment either.
Slow progress,
No revolution,
But steady success,
Eventually,
Got us to where we are,
Things getting better,
Easier,
Fairer,
Acceptance gaining,
Ignorance failing.

But.

In one signature,
A thousand steps taken,
The wrong way,
Back to before,
When no one,
Understood,
And blindly,
Blamed,
Accused,
Hated,
Divided.

But.

The world screams,
It cries out:
*"They are human too!"
WE ARE HUMAN TOO

Oh what I'd give to cry again
To feel the things I've felt before
But now i've seen the striking sights
That make it hard to think of such simple aims

I've Felt so many out of place thoughts  
And jumped into some lonely dreams
Drank so many ghostly drinks
Crushed grapes with you in mind
Sang pigpen songs
Then watched you well
Fought armies in my crackled mind
I've Felt the love where none has been
Been sick inside my lethal head

I've thought about the pain to die
But when it's time to finally make amends
I struggle to bring out a sigh
Because that's not who I am at all
I'm someone you should  hate for life
Fermented undergarments
farmers markets, Targets, turn tarnish!
An angle of self-righteousness moves to left.
