For years now I have been betrayed by my own selfish actions

So long such actions have tried to convince me to do otherwise

But I've come undone by my own selfishness

Now I sit here staring at every consequence, like watching myself in the mirror

No real wisdom comes from my mistakes

Is this the reason why I keep making the same mistakes?

I am trying to study my emotional barrier and the chamber my heart is sealed within

Trial and error with more errors then success

failure leaves a loud ringing in my ears

While these consequences have won every battle so far, and how I still can not learn from them

I feel like I am engaged behind walls of glass, only to continue to watch my past

repeat itself over and over

Forever it seems... Trapped inside a looking glass
