A Conversation With the Mirror

“Do you talk to yourself often?”


 

“I suppose so.”


 

“Does it ever get lonely?”


 

“Oh heavens no!”


 

“What better company is there than the one who knows me best?

What better judgement is there than the voice from your own head?

I’d rather be in terrible pain than ever be brain dead.

It’s impossible to understand others, so I got to know myself instead.”

  • She is Disorder

    “Stay away,” they’ll say

    “She doesn’t think right,”

    “She has horrible visions,

    incomprehensible to the mind.”


     

    She is disorder

    She is me

    A single thought blossoms

    into sweet insanity

  • The Monster

    A moment you can’t make

    a feeling you can’t shake

    I am the monster

    they tell you is fake


     

    I am the apathy

    leftover from hate

    I’m what they hate

    that’s what they’ll say


     

  • The glow of the TV

    Do you remember the time

    that you and I

    spent in front of the TV?

    We watched Disney cartoons

    and the world around us

    stopped.


    I remember 

    when nothing else mattered

    and we could just be.
