The reflection in the Mirror
Shows the true image of evil
It smiles an evil smirk; laughing
At the way I try to solve
The mystery of the glass
The face in there is made of mine
Yet different, distorted;
It may be the face of the devil himself
The eyes show hatred
The nose merely a divider between
Sanity and the hell of a rubber room.
I try to rid myself of the deadly smirk
hurling a bomb at the mirror’s face
makes me feel weak
unable to speak
The glass shatters in millions of pieces
Like the walls of my heart
and mind in shock
paralyzed with fear
now I lay here
In a dark black home
Alive in a shell
Dying alone
Reflections are the border
where Yin and Yang meet. -Mark C. Carroll
