Sanity


How did I get stuck in a mirror?

Reflecting all of existence, but it’s a tight space.

Big Places 

and Big Moments 

and Big Emotions scream in my ear,

“There’s no space! Move over!”

And I resemble a ball.

Deflated- 

Pressed against the glass.

Weak whimpers wash away with any hope   

My tears stain my cheeks with lunacy.

But I swear 

I’m not crazy, 

just trapped.
