When I look in the mirror I see no one

Black silhouette

No face and no name

I see a person unknown to me

Who are you, where am I

This is a mirror

I am supposed to see me

I remember me, I have blank hair and blank eyes

I can’t remember

When I look in the mirror that silhouette has red eyes

Boring into me and carving out my own

She hurts me

Yelling my wrongs and choosing my rights

Forcing me to ...

Stars at night

Street lights

Owls go out to fly

So many beautiful things out and about

Date night

Movie night

Night shift and tired workers

Out clubbing with the girls

Drinking with the guys

Sleeping in like a good little kid

Pouring out your heart in the pillows

Sleepless nights

Nightmares

Dreams of future

Friendship, love, sex

So many things happen at night

In a heart-shaped box, a mother keeps her children’s teeth

She says it’s for memories keep

But when alone, loneliness begins to seep

Loneliness like a missing AirPod, incomplete

My breath shaken and heavy

My bones feel weighted down and free at the same time

I managed to break the ball and chain

Though it costs me more than humane ways

The bells clang and boom behind me

But it’s all around me, in my ears, in my heart

I run from the skeletons and ghouls

They are coming for me, I must hide

They say I must die and stay dead

“No one is to escape the City of Death”

But I run,...

Sitting in this desolate room as I think

Boredom and exhaustion at my feet

I wake in somber of leaving my rest

My bed that hugs me like a teddy bear

Oh how I wish to stay and wallow in my own filth

To pour my eyes out and complain about trivial work

School has me stressed and I want to bedridden

But, oh, would that be an insult to those who are?

I am lucky to have a warm bed and roof over my head...
