My Conscience And I
A Poem by Catastrophe
Does the mirror tell me lies?
Is that what I really look like?
Or am I just hiding behind some weary disguise
No, you are what you see
Those eyes tell you no lies
The image staring back
Is the image they all recognize
What seems to be the problem? I do not recognize my own self
The person I saw in those pictures
Seems to be someone else
Yes, that was then my dear
You were younger; smaller
Look at you now
Older and wider
But I do not understand
I cause myself so much disgust
I never thought looking in the mirror would ever hurt this much
But who are you blaming
Me or the food
You stuff yourself to death child
Now just look at you
You could have warned me; could you have not
What a disgrace I am
Now look at where I've got
Would you have listened to me?
I'm only you're Conscience, do not forget
You make your decisions you either stand by
Or regret
So what am I to do now?
How can I love what I once saw?
How can I go back to that girl I once was
There's no going back
You are what you are
Or
you could put the plates down, child
And learn how to starve
