Ever look into the mirror

And stare in disgust with who you see?

It’s not so much what you look like

It’s who you've come to be.



An almost visible burden

Weighs heavily upon your back.

This gravity is slowly growing

Causing your features to go slack.



You wonder how long you can stand it

Before your sanity leaves for good.

Do not dare lie to yourself!

You feel as though it could!



Turn away from the mirror once again

And return to the life you've been living in.

“Step back from change”, you hear doubt say

“You’re comfortable in these wounds, my friend”



You know the reason your life is pain

Despite the will to change

It’s all self-inflicted,

It’s as if you’re pain addicted.



Some sick side of you feels

A sort of enjoyment when you fall

You wish you could mute its voice

To be gone with its beck and call



But your will- power to act

Is not so strong

Despite the choice you know is right

And the choice you know is wrong



Won’t you find the strength

To break away from these bonds?

And cut ties with all the lies

That you've been drowning in for so long?



This evil will one day engulf you

And you know you cannot break away as you should

But a strong resolve ignites inside you

And you feel as though you could.
