My Reflection

musicismylife78

Turn the handle, flip the switch,

reflection in silence,

Mirror cracks and all,

I stare at the person in the mirror

Who is that I wonder

Sunken Eyes, hollow, shrunken head

life has taken a toll on your my son,

pale thin skin and bones

your body

once supporting your bones

and a badge of pride and courage

now a burden,

your bones brittle

cracking and snapping with each step and breath

you feel thousands of years old

your back now resembles a hunchback

your face has grown permanent tear tracks

due tyo the daily ritual of grief

the war has taken its toll my son

What happened to that person who used to stare

stare at me in the mirror.

Why does he no longer look like me.

Let it die, I tell myself

Isnt the definition of a dream, that it dies eventually...

unfortunately the truth lies within the hand that hurts
the foot that kicks
the word that pierces
the energy thats gone
no longer full of life
seeing everyone but himself
in his heart
