In my mind I think
I think There has to be another way
Another way to get rid of the pain
The pain that’s inside of me always
Me always thinking it will go away
Go away from my body
My body hates what I do to it
To it I try not to do
To do the things that hurt me most
Me most of the time wondering and praying
Wondering and praying to save myself
Save myself from the terror that is me
Is me what I see in the mirror
The mirror does not reflect my horrid face
Horrid face of mine why do you face me
Face me in my fears
My fears about the world around me
Around me everyone hates me in my mind
In my mind I think
definitely poetry!
I had to read this a second time, i was so caught off guard. Your powerful imagery invoked something old and deep inside of me. I have seen that face in the mirror, and it took a long time for me to realize that the face in the emirror is only a reflection of what the outside world had done to me, but when I looked deeper, I saw in myself the truth of what i was.... A spiritual being, lost in a world full of pain. Today I have found my way back out, into my own light, and when I look in the mirror, all I see is beautiful, wonderful me :) I hope one day, you will see the same. Thank you so much for sharing this... beautifully done. Blessings!!
