No-one sees as I collapse,
I can see everyone walking on by,
But silent are the screams & tears I cry.

I long to step right through the glass,
Into the real world at long last,
But I am a prisoner behind glass walls,
I need help to get up after my falls,

I touch the glass but it tears my skin,
Blood seeps out from deep within,
It’s razor sharp just like a knife,
Threatening to take away my life.

Each day I pace up & down,
Finally crumbling into a heap on the ground,
Exhausted from all my emotional strain,
I’m feeling the damage from all past pain.

Free is a word that isn’t in my book,
Along with freedom my sanity was took,
Behind this mirror I will one day cease to be,
As being trapped will be the death of me.

Around I crawl until that fateful day,
Waiting for eternal sleep to fall my way,
I don’t know how to live I just exist,
I am a trapped ,forgotten soul that has been missed.

I feel like that sometimes. To me the reflection is the reality I want to be in and reality is the mirror. That is just my opinion.

I think your title is awesome because trapped behind the mirror you cannot see yourself and at some of the worst times in my life I didn't even look in the mirror so I guess I was trapped behind at some point.

thank you
