just how it’s written tbh :-)

I was once thrown into a hall of mirrors Surrounding me on every side I was forced to look deep into my soul For I had not a place to hide Every mirror reflected someone different Some versions were fat or thin Each version had different color eyes But none revealed the person within Some versions were short or tall Some had me in a tie and suit Some had me in a summertime shirt But none revealed the person I knew Every mirror showed different contrast And different objects floating in space Some reflections were lighter than others But none helped reflect my own face So finally down on hands and knees I asked desperately for God to show me Anything better than what I was seeing Anything that shows me as a being But what I saw next was worse These reflections caused me to choke A hanged man in front of a jury An animal with all of it’s legs broke I looked to the left and gasped When I saw a gruesome murder on a street I quickly turned right and sobbed When a little girl began to weep I saw a man coughing up blood And angels crashing into Earth One reflection even showed A dying fetus at birth Above me were more mirrors Showcasing loneliness in rain Depicting flowers being swallowed By the soil’s rocky terrain I begged for it to stop Why was I being shown these things? Like a tree standing empty and hollow And a canary that couldn’t sing I ran further down the hall But another mirror caught my gaze Except this one wasn’t clear at all All I saw was smoky haze Perhaps these reflections were true Is this how I feel inside? The last reflection I saw in the mirror hall Was a reflection of me about to die And then suddenly the lights went out And I was trapped alone in the dark Are these reflections truly honest? Is this the chaos that’s in my heart? These fabrications I couldn’t believe But perhaps I am starting to see The one reflection that is true The failure that is always me
