Meet Myself
Through fractured eyes
These cracked lies
Provide the illusion
Of clear vision.
Splintered skin,
Meaning hidden by
Poisonous reason,
Fails to show.
Blackened thoughts
Raise alarms,
Harried away
By denial.
In this mirror,
Docked I stand to testify.
But no longer can I lie.
Examination of evidence
Proves no alibi.
Faltering, the witness
Can only confess.
Too long this charade
Has been played,
The game must end.
I must meet myself.
