You Can't Run Away From The Mirror

You Can't Run Away From The Mirror

A Poem by Kelsey
"

I ran away from everything Everything I thought I knew I had so much lined up So much I thought I was going to do

"
Everything’s going up in flames
Erase your memories
Forget my name
It’s over
Said and done
And now I want nothing more
Then for it all to be gone

It’s in the past
Where it belongs
Don’t worry about the
Things they’ll say
Just run
Run away
And don’t stop till it’s a new day

But running away from the past
I couldn’t help but to look back
Running too fast
More focused on what’s behind me
Then what’s coming up next
Didn’t see it up ahead
Ran into a wall
Dizzy and confused as my forehead bled

Once I stood back up
I didn’t like what I saw at all
A cracked mirror
Hung there on that wall
Is that me I’m looking at?
I reach out my hand
And touch the glass
It’s me
But what have I done?
Blood stained my skin
Who have I become?

I ran away from everything
Everything I thought I knew
I had so much lined up
So much I thought I was going to do
But I ran away
Too scared to face my fears
Now standing in front of this mirror
I see it has only brought more tears
And now I realize I’m face to face
With my biggest fear
