Dysfunctional Tree (Just Ask The Shadow)

  

So I get you fearing

         Only the dead of night

Guess you never heard of

          A trick of the light.

Using the sun as a blinder

         From what hold true

This is the weakness

         I’ll use against you.

Thinking that your reflection

         Is a form of security

Not seeing the dirt on the mirror

         As a symbolic loss of purity.

Even the purest of blood

         Is tainted by evil

Just look into the mystery

         Of the family will.

This ancient art of illusion

         Is what created Genesis

Allowing mankind to believe

         Death is riding a Pegasus.

Just keep believing you’re safe

         In the clearing of daytime

For the shadow of that genetic tree

         Highlights a mental crime.

This is really interesting. My interpration is that is about somebody who is all smiles and false pretenses, pretending everything is perfect, making themselves look the part, but its a facade. Something is askew with their family. Its could be just a general unhappiness or something way more sinister. You've got some really great lines in there too:

Thinking that your reflection
Is a form of security
Not seeing the dirt on the mirror
As a symbolic loss of purity

and

Just keep believing you're safe
In the clearing of daytime
For the shadow of that genetic tree
Highlights a mental crime

Really great job on this piece. It the type that has so many levels we might never understand.

This is super creative and different from other pieces you've written. I read it through twice to grasp the meaning, and what I got was a denial and fear of death. Was I right? Sometimes it's hard for me to dissect these deeper pieces...

"Thinking that your reflection

That was my favorite part! Again, highly intriguing and, I'm sure, many ways to be interpreted. Great job!
