Poem -
Ghost in a Mirror
In a mirror staring back at me
A ghost of who I use to be
Lack luster eyes, a hollow soul
Time has taken a mighty toll
Will-o'-the-wisp, a puff of smoke
Shadows traced by emotions invoke
Vanity has no dominance here
Ghastly specter resides in a mirror
Sunken cheeks, skeletal grin
Buried under alabaster skin
Who have I become
Living a life so numb
Iβm okay, a thousand times lied
Drowning in a quicksilver tide
But only I see
A ghost of who I use to be
Weight of the world on a shoulder
Year after year a little older
Soon it wonβt seem to matter
As bit by bit mirrors shatter
