Devouring Reflection

Looking I see fear and despair. Hours of worry and lack of sleep appear. I see cracks and blemishes. They cover the frame Only growing over time. They creep, slowly inflicting pain. Looking in I want out, an escape. Tired of trying and sick of hoping to recreate. I see cracks and blemishes. Just on the surface Only growing over time. They creep, slowly making everything worthless. Looking into this It’s hard sometimes, looking into this. Sometimes I don’t like what I see, but I can only wish. That those cracks and blemishes Won’t cover the surface They are growing over time. They run, quickly devouring my purpose. Looking into this mirror. What can I do, what can I find? Happiness and beauty are there I just have to realize. I see cracks and blemishes. They cover the surface But they are going away. They creep, but will they leave me wordless? Looking into this mirror. I see fear, despair and worry. I’m tired, so sleepy. I’m sick as can be. I see all of this, But I’m waiting, just waiting to see me.
