Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round, if you dare,
For I have a cautionary tale, a story quite rare.
It's a chilling narrative that will make you aware,
Of the perils that await, so allow me to share.
In a land quite peculiar, on a street named just right,
Lived someone quite normal, with a future so bright.
One night, by chance, they stumbled upon a mirror,
That if observed, showed a future, that could be ever so nearer.
They gazed into the glass, their heart beating slow,
The mirror showed dreams, but a darkness did grow.
They saw their potential, achieving all dreams,
Yet each night they looked; things worsened it seems.
Day after day, and well into the night,
With every glance, their dreams turned to fright,
Their hope and ambition, consumed every hour,
All potential and dreams, looking ever more sourer.
One day they realized, in the depths of their fear,
That hoping alone would not make dreams any more near.
They couldn't just gaze, they had to prepare,
For dreams without action, lead to chilling nightmares.
