Mirror On The Wall

“Mirror Mirror on the wall,

Who is the fairest one of all?”

Oh, my lady! What can I say?

The truth is bitter, it could leave you astray,

I do not talk about the perishable beauty presented to me,

It’s the one within I speak of, the real you; I see,

Choices you’ve made, callous and fowl,

Feasting over many lives, yet in pride you howl,

With trinkets and treasures you surround yourself,

Making you a selfish giant, amid the helpless elf,

But what are you so proud of? I do not understand,

It’s people like you I hate, and can never stand!

You reek of loneliness and a biblically distasteful thirst,

To fill the forever void space in your heart,

Becoming hopeless by the day, becoming worst,

You think you do not belong here for you are priceless and mighty,

But you are broken and empty, disgraceful and blighty,

Choices you’ve made, questionable in every way,

You know it and still remain the same, a fool you are; I say,

For until you look back and see what you’ve done,

You shall never change,

See the life you have so recklessly led,

Drowning in meaningless pleasure, only with which, you remain fed,

Look back into the eyes that stare at you,

It's not with jealousy or lust, not compassion or love, it’s pure hate; which you drew,

Change yourself while you still stand a chance,

Before it’s too late, forever alone you may have to dance,

On a stage of blood and precious glass,

You will weep, bleed, but smile through the course, for you think that’s class,

Change it right now, I assert!

Accept yourself, your wounds, and all those you’ve hurt,

Look at yourself for once from my eyes,

Save yourself from the torments and echoes of endless cries,

Do it once and you will never look back; I swear,

Because it’s your own ego you shall shatter,

And pride, you will tear,

For they are built on false promises and sickening lies,

It’s time to face your demons, before they become the arsenal of your demise,

Kill it with all what you have left, conquer once and it’s all over,

Start fresh, take another shot at life,

Repeat not one deed that’s wronged you or others,

Never again do anything that you know is rife,

It will not be easy, no not at all,

But you need to do it, For one last time, I urge you to fall,

And you will rise again, glorious in every way,

Stand then in front of me,

A desirable maiden who can look at herself without a doubt,

The one I ache to see,

Give me another chance then, to answer your question,

If I may?

“You are the fairest one of all,” I’ll happily say.
