[hometext] => Depressed=I'm sad over nothing which makes me sad about everything but I know it's nothing & it frustrates me.Then I look @ myself & it annoys me. & Anxiety disorder=I'm trapped in a gruesome irreality & cant get air or feel loved. The title scarcely fits
[bodytext] => Trapped beside a looking glass Filled with empty tears Feeling ev’ry second pass As my makeup smears Pulling out my hair because I know I’m not okay Gritting teeth and clenching jaws In frustrated dismay The looking glass is daunting It summons hollow tears The clock, just ticking—taunting Bringing the surface to my fears Or stuck inside a crystal ball Suffocating in its haze Either way, myself I maul Encased in self-loathed ways The crystal ball unhinges me Inside it’s round mystique Searching for a corner To hide, I’m lost, I shriek Breaking free of crystal’s fog Among the glass you’ve shattered Breathing in diluted smog My feelings lie there, scattered It’s you that helped me break out It’s you who sets me free But when it’s you I’m without The looking glass I see The crystal ball is scarcely there The looking glass is bold Reflecting all my fears, despair Inside me I behold The crystal ball is broken Reflecting in a mirror My fears that lie unspoken Reflecting, they’re now clearer My mind is made of glass The kind you can’t see through A two-way pane—alas! You don’t see me, do you? The looking glass before me Broken crystal all around The reflection is sorely Creating broken glass rebound I know this broken glass And it grows ever nearer For it’s in my looking glass And I can’t escape this mirror [comments] => 3 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 13 [informant] => liquidsunshine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
