Man Within The Mirror

A stranger lives within the mirror;
An unbearable past echoes through his eyes,
Screams of misfortune never wither away,
Like the undying threads of life;
Abysmal suffering of animosity never fades,
Although the words live in silence,
As the men in their graves.

A stranger lives within the mirror;

An undermined heart weeps in agony;
Dying blood coursing through his veins,
Like an ambient angel of death,
Bearing his lifeline in his hands,
Death engulfs his grinning soul,
As the black plague back then.

A stranger lives within the mirror;

An unrestrained expression on his face;
Waterfalls of tears overload his emotion,
Like the blinding, historic flood ages ago;
The vacant man, depressed beyond words,
And living within his own asylum,
As the abandoned, worried, insane man.

A stranger lives within the mirror;

An uncontrollable burst of love for another,
But, within, the heart cannot deem itself,
Like the forsaken black swan;
His family absconds from him;
The adversity allured his aftermath,
As the ultimatum of Romeo.

A stranger lives within the mirror;

A unanimous lust of crime,
Craving the adrenaline rush of burglary,
Like selling his soul to Hell’s Motel;
A living nothing to mankind’s existence,
Exists within the man stealing everything,
As the robbers of the ancient pot of gold.

A stranger lives within the mirror;

An unbelievable thought, now haunting;
The restrained ember burning within these men,
Like the shining savoring soul, dancing blissfully,
Replicates the luminosity deep within my eyes;
The men branch off my journey through life,
As the branches of the old willow tree.

Shall I be of one that cannot be heard?

Shall I be of one that commits suicide?
Shall I be of one that suffers depression?
Shall I be of one that cannot love myself?
Shall I be of one that means nothing?
Shall I be of one that knows not of the future?
Shall I be the man within the mirror?

I really like this! I felt like a sniper or hangman that has regrets! I have to give it a high score for I can't truly judge it's all around merits but I can say Wow! Nice write by my eyes!

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
