Reflection

by lee ann mcclure

 

 

your reflection in the mirror

what is it that you see

yourself I would imagine

what else could it be

 

if you could see clearly

what lurked behind that glass

would you want to know

or would you let it pass

 

knowing the very truth

as your stood right here

no going back after this

it won't all dissappear

 

evil is looking back at you

your demon on the other side

in a place you never knew

darkness that is far and wide

 

the stale stench of death

surrounds this tortured soul

to end its own existence

would be its ultimate goal

 

it doesn't know your luxuries

can only see it in your eyes

its life so full of misery

for its future as it lies

 

not human in its form

small beastly horrible creature

but compassion in its eyes

a truly notable feature

 

for it knows what lies ahead

until the day you die

nothing for it will change

and now you wonder why

 

why is it so compassionate

why did I not know

why do I have a demon

why until the day I go

 

its born to dark you to light

this is your connection

united until death

this is your reflection
