Through the Looking Glass

Mind tied up in knots
thoughts twisted, frayed edges
escaping the pressure.
Life's madness isn't enough
to blame the past sorrow.
Mirror, an illusion of time
holds the never ending pain
the empty, the forgotten
the theft of souls,
captivates the delusions,
messes with the mind
trapping the powerless within.
Inside looking out, she is not me.
Too pure of color, too thirsty for life,
too hungry for a new path.
Through the looking glass,
silent screams await
each coming day.

Looking into the mirror, realizing...I may never know who I started out to be. Very impressive first post. Welcome! Please stay and write a while.

All the things we don't want to see lie behind that glass.

Well written!
