I looked in the mirror today
And nothing looked back
My reflection hollow and gray
Silent echoes of what was and could
My life has faded to black
And stripped of everything good
The day is dismal and night darker
With even the twilight gone away
In my emotional departure
I think about all I have lost
The people left along the way
And all dreams that were squashed
My world torn in two
By forces out and within
Ruined everything I ever knew
Left me cold and empty
Threw my head and heart for a spin
And now distant to reverie
Blank faces don’t help my case
Couldn’t care less about my fate
I feel I’m in the wrong place
With no way to escape
Trapped under all this weight
And remain in a shriveled shape
I feel I’m losing control
My mind frenzied and frayed
Fragmented and not longer whole
I’m so desolate and alone
Can’t keep up this masquerade
And can’t continue on my own
I question my reason to life
My thoughts hidden and subtle
Can’t take all this strife
Now, I will no longer pretend
No finding the light in the tunnel
And no surviving until the end
