MirrorA Poem by Joey Martinez
Mirror mirror on the wall
You remind us we exist in a world that many appall You remind us that We’re alive in a realm that’s overwhelmingly abysmal But it’s an honor to be apart of history There’s no routine, the next day is all a mystery It’s an honor to feel pain, you can’t enjoy the sun without a little rain And there are times where we wonder if our existence has been compromised But once we see our own reflection the truth begins to cover the complexion of our self driven lies We are alive We can’t escape the mirrors and it haunts us humans It frightens us to know we exist because we can’t resist that subtle gaze of the truth Many people are frightened to see who their soul has taken shelter in Walking past any glass of reflection to avoid seeing the scars of their sins The youth in us all begin to reminisce of a time where pain was healed with a mothers kiss And now that kiss has turned into a swig of whiskey and a puff of smoke Filling ourselves with false hope But it’s a blessing to be alive Deal with the pain Speak the truth Learn from the lies © 2020 Joey Martinez |
