This poem delves into the inner turmoil of self-reflection, exploring themes of denial, blame, and the haunting fear of facing one's true self. Through vivid imagery of mirrors and monsters, it addresses the societal pressures that suppress individuality and the shared pain we often mask behind facades. It raises questions about human nature, guilt, and the search for meaning in a world where we are constantly at odds with ourselves and others. Ultimately, it challenges the reader to confront their own inner demons and fears, not of death, but of living as a sinner.

I want this to a place where we can all find instances of clarity knowing we all think, feel, and experience the same, maybe not exactly the same but somewhat.

Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of that person? This poetry is mine. This is me, opening my damaged mind to be discovered. Inside you'll find the raw emotions of a truly broken soul.Complete
