Reflective Cracks.

The Mirror is my enemy, it
Pierces me, burns me, forces
Me to see the shell that i am
Encased in with no escape,
Holds me in, contains
The consciousness That allows
Me to wheep onto paper.

The tears form my thoughts.
They are my release, to which
My eyes dearly need.
My power comes from words,
The voice that sways will always
Be that which is from page.

Words can envoke love, hate and extascy.
They hide my face from judging eyes,
Allow them to see beyond this husk
I wear against my will.
They see the truth that is
Forever closed away from sight.

As my mind aches for a new vessel,
It must seep through the cracks,
Dripping my essence as my ink.
Sewers of emotion soaking my
Surroundings, drowning those
Who dare delve into to depths.

Where only my raw thoughts inhabbit.
To release from this holding, is an
Inescapable journey with no
Return, which i do not have the
Courage to venture forth.
To break free of the mirror's hold.

To grasp the clasp on my esteem,
Acceptance must overthrow
My envy of those around me.
Push it to the bottom.
Away to die.
With my ambition and successes.

I absolutely loved this stanza,^^^ such gorgeous imagery!!
This poem speaks so much so well, and in the end of all the suffering, there is the beauty of hope. (:
Excellently written my friend...
