The night is filled with lonely desperation
I wake up most nights to the sound of my own screaming
I see my face in the moon, pale and hollow
The gray sky seeps into the walls of my house, making everything appear sick,
lifeless
I realize the problems lies within the mirrors
It reflects and propels my sadness into the surrounding area
My parents now question why all of the mirrors are broken
I can't answer them with more than a shrug
I wrote "mirror" on a post-it note and taped it to the black square where the glass used to reside
Maybe this will be enough to replace my mistakes
If only it was enough to go back in time
Erase myself from this moment
Erase myself from the world
Maybe then I won't have to carry the burden of glossy stares
The burden of ignored food left on dirty dishes
Hey, at least I know the mice will be fed
If only I could break free from the prison that encases me
Break free from the empty nights when only the moon is there to comfort me
Maybe everyone was right
Maybe it is you who is the the thing I must shatter...
