Reflection

by Kathrynn   May 4, 2004


I look in the mirror
and hate what i see
it's my own reflection
staring back at me

a vision, i see
much more than i should
a vision, i know
that's more harm than good

in the washroom, i see it
my reflection, in the bowl
swirling round and round
as the food goes down the hole

it shows up again
in a pool of blood
washing the pain
like water from a flood

the last time i see
the reflection of my frown
is in the water of the lake
as i stand and look down

i step into the vision
as i heave my final sigh
then i give up my breath
and let myself die

"i see my reflection in the toilet.. in a pool of blood.. in the lake as i drown.. -oh wait, that last one wasn't a reflection at all.... it was reality."
