There is something lurking behind you
You know it
Something that could take everything away from you
Your only thoughts are of escape
And what will happen if you don’t
But you are frozen
You close your eyes
But the sense grows stronger
It wells up inside
You see it taking you
Wrapping you in your regrets and failures
Dragging you to a place of unimaginable pain and suffering
Never to return to this world
I know all these things are going through your head
Because I am that thing behind you
Waiting for you to turn around
Man in the Mirror
Saw a man in the mirror yesterday
He stared back as if not recognizing the man looking at him
All these years staring at that man
Not knowing what to expect
But never expecting that
Returned today, hoping to find his usual blank stare
But it was still there
That look of confusion
But it was tinged with something else
A hint of fear
The man knew what he was looking at
But what he once knew now seemed so distorted
Something had changed
That man in the mirror could not possibly know what
But the change still frightened him
He had grown used to the old reflection
And did not know whether it would ever come back
This man on the other side, however
He knew the reason for the change
But he too was afraid
He did not know how to change back
He stared back as if not recognizing the man looking at him
All these years staring at that man
Not knowing what to expect
But never expecting that
Returned today, hoping to find his usual blank stare
But it was still there
That look of confusion
But it was tinged with something else
A hint of fear
The man knew what he was looking at
But what he once knew now seemed so distorted
Something had changed
That man in the mirror could not possibly know what
But the change still frightened him
He had grown used to the old reflection
And did not know whether it would ever come back
This man on the other side, however
He knew the reason for the change
But he too was afraid
He did not know how to change back
