Reflections

To glance upon oneself Reflects self loathing inside All emotions left on the shelf With inner fears left to hide This darkness that lingers And the cold consumes you Through the dark long winter A past which I once knew Never to gaze, never to indulge To give oneself... completely A vulnerable state to divulge Better to store away neatly As the mirror distorts all perceptions inside All is revealed within the void
