Mirror
February 8, 2016
Emptiness is a pitch black mirror
that hangs in front of me every morning.
No matter how wide I open my eyes,
darkness takes form around the blank wall.
Sometimes, at night I look into the mirror,
wondering if anyone can see me.
Is it too dark for the rest of the world?
Is everyone actually as happy as they
say or are we all just
lost in a pitch black mirror?

You've definitely got talent!
I wrote this because in High School, I began to realize a lot of the time we all feel lost. I want everyone to know that even though we're all lost, we can be lost together.
