The Boy in the Mirror
He tries
despite the lies
that comprise
the prison wherein lies
the self
In constant chaos
with the loss
of his only
self
Where did he go
so much to show
but they'll never know
what could have been
More than just
a string of worthless days
a foggy haze
of depression
a sluggish malaise
Ya that boy is gone
escaped through the mirror
left only to appear
a gaze of fear
god let the end be near
because it became too much
The demons in his mind
twist this reality into
delusion
So he keeps boozin'
slowly loosin'
until the truth has run thin
never to return again
