The Mirror's Lie

the mirror's lie 

the tricks that the image splayed before your eyes 

the emotions of disgust and contempt and shame

"Why do you lie?" you ask...

the beauty that you show isn't the one inside 

the cracked beauty leaves behind a hideous ogre

ready for destruction upon a peasant town

i cry inside 

the rivers of pain agony full my empty vessel called a soul

flooding my heart with the pressures of misery
