Mirrors

Staring in the mirror today

Wondering where it all went wrong

Wishing that I could hit reset

Like I use too when I played the N-64

But you and I both know that I'm stuck

On this treadmill going nowhere

I'm just running in place looking for an escape

When I know there isn't one anywhere

I close my eyes and daydream about freedom

How good it would feel to be happy again

Free from this pain and sadness I'm feeling

Free from this fake smile I'm wearing

Just a daydream that won't come true

I'm stuck in a loop

Looking for a way to escape

But I can't find my way out

With every turn that I make

I hit a dead end and I can't take it

I'm going insane and losing my mind

I'm about to break down and cry

I wish there was some way to help me

But there isn't and I know it

I've been dealt a card hand

There is no way that I'm winning

The dealer has a royal flush 

And I'm sitting here with just a pair

I think I might need a damn drink

And waste away my dreams

Because we all know that they pointless

Gonna wash them down the drain 

And let the misery take me over

I close my eyes and daydream about freedom

How good it would feel to be happy again

Free from this pain and sadness I'm feeling

Free from this fake smile I'm wearing

Just a daydream that won't come true

Maybe one day it will all change

Maybe one day someone will save me

But til that day comes to be

I'm gonna stare in this mirror 

And just wonder why...

I like that you used the drain in your poem. It fits well with the mirror. One is able to imagine they are in the bathroom looking at themselves in the mirror and the sink is below them. Maybe the water is running down the drain and that represents the life of the person.

Do you feel like a flower that has faded?

Thank you so very much for your review, I'm also happy to tell you that my wait is over, my savior has come and rescued me. He's my knight in shining armor. He's my lover, best friend, and my Fiance. :)
