The Monster In The Mirror

The Monster In The Mirror

I wake within a new dawn,
As I am born into another day,
I know I have to look,
As it will never go away.

It’s a dirty reminder,
Of an explicit past,
For the face that reflects,
Will forever last.

Tainted thoughts,
Of lucid dreams,
A continuous reminder,
Of an edible extreme.

Compliments are banished,
Within a swift reflection,
The monster looking back at me,
A hidden Obese Projection.

Many will not understand,
The struggle that lives within you,
For the monster in the mirror,
Will go wherever you do.
