Creeping over Myself |

Creeping over myself; scattered remains of a once decorated sanctuary. I leave with no remorse; rotting flesh I leave behind this living corpse. Shadows fall upon my path where my feet have yet to reach. Darkened and hollow and in my way I stumble; they make me fall. Dripping like leprosy remains, Pieces of me I dodge. My stomach flips revolting At the revulsion I see; I am. Mirrors; Oh Mirrors! I’ll crush every one; to see myself. I never turn around to see myself Blacken out the light reflection. Behind that black is my reflection. I color it darker to keep it from showing. Spare myself the humiliation of knowing. Spare myself the horror of seeing; of being. Lose myself upon my way; tripping I cannot find the way to let me go. Confuse myself to keep me from following. I end up back where I began. Where the parts I thought I’d left behind are blistering in the sun; rotting flesh stinking up the golden day; I stay. No good to leave; I watch myself decay. |

enjoyed this dark shadowy look, the attempt to crawl away from one's own dark side |
