Dark

I walked closer and closer near,
Reluctantly staring into the mir.
I don't know why this scares me so much,
I pull my hand up, my face, I have to touch.
My fingers scrape the reflection on the glass,
I look down, not wanting to remember my past.
The features on my face are no longer clear,
Just a dark silhoutte staring back from the mir.
I take a step back, not believing it was me,
But the reflection moved as I did, Directly.
I just stared at the darkness I despised,
The darkness, only I could see, no one else realized.
This was always something I never wanted,
My spirit, saddly, has always been haunted.
The voices in my head continue to break me down,
They bring me to my knees- to the cold ground.
I continue to stare, the mirror taunting my being,
I can't look away, even though I hate what I'm seeing.
I look down at my hands, it's completely black,
I shake my head, and take a step back.
The mirror no longer shows me lies,
My skin is now as black as night skies.
The truth is now inside- as well as out,
People will look at me and no longer doubt.
Everyone will know I live up to my name,
Dark, what people call me, makes me feel shamed.
But now I am the dark silhouette- defeat,
There's nothing I can do... Now the darkness is complete.
