On the edge of an abyss

0 posted 2006-06-04 04:12 AM

When I look in the mirror
I hate what I see
I don't know the person
that stares back at me

I don't even know
who I am anymore
And I don't really remember
who I was before

I hate the person
that I have become
I used to have feelings
now, I'm just numb

I hate feeling empty
and hopeless inside
I hate the pain
and fear that I hide

I want to let go
of all of these things
The bitter tears
and the numbness they bring

So I close my eyes
and try to erase
All the pain inside
the girl with my face

But when I open my eyes
they fill up with tears
For the girl in the mirror,
the pain is still there

The sorrow of the person in this poem comes across extremely clear. I'll be watching for more of your stuff

Unfortunatly, that person is me. Needless to say, I avoid mirrors alot. Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this. In a way, it's comforting to know there's other people on this planet that understand my pain, but also very sad because you can...
