Every time I look in a mirror I see it.
no one else notices, but it's all I ever see...
my eyes...
the only outward change
reflecting
the horrid change within.
My soul is stained with black scars
my mind no longer my own.
the devil within just became real
and now the fight begins...
five years of fighting
and what have I won?
my soul is mine again
but the cost?
no silver or copper can repay
what I lost to the sea of gold.
yet scars heal, devils can die...
I see my reflection doesn't show
what I was or who I will be...
only what I am.
now...
yet the broken bits reflect what was and what will be
time's deception blurs...
a thousand shattered mirrors
floating in a single tear.
I look in the mirror and I see...
