Mirrors

I cannot look in mirrors, I’d turn myself to stone.

I find it’s rather poignant,

though,

to see what is your own.


You glide above the clouds,

I’m lurking underneath.

No one ever

told me that

My heroes had

sharp teeth.


I’ve seen so much down here

that would make

a mother

cry..

I’ve shown so many people

the realities

of your

lies.


It’s hard to save them

all at

once…

I try

to put

Them

first.


They see me as a threat,

at first,

a monster

with a thirst.


But I thirst

for something

that many monsters do.

Justice and equality,

to have it just like you.


You splay out

in your

ivory

tower,

up amongst the stars.

How’s the view from up on top?

Do you know

it‘s rightfully

ours?


We should all

share the glory,

the comfort

and the fame.

How unfortunate

we are to

not have power

and a last name.


So I’ve begun

to build a ladder,

so we can see

the top.


Many have now joined me,

They are hard to stop.
