Poem -
Ghost in the Mirror
In a mirror, staring back at me
A ghost of who I use to be
Lackluster eyes swallowed whole
Time played a hungry role
Will-oβ-the-wisp, a puff of smoke
EidolaΒ sojourn,Β emotions invoke
Vanity has no dominance here
Faint cracks riddle a mirror
Sunken cheeks, skeletal grin
Burrow under crimpy skin
Who have I become?
Living a life so numb
Iβm okay, a thousand times lied
Drowning in a quicksilver tide
Alas, only monochrome I see
A manifest, 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 fissures shatter

Well done Poetess, very descriptive work here. No doubt the bginning is my favorite part. The poem, a sentiment to the struggles of life.

You paint a very fine picture of the reality of our existence. It's a dark one but that darkness, we will surely embrace. I love this piece. Thanks for sharing The Poetess.
