Afraid of the Mirror

By TheCreepIngCrow

I keep no mirrors around.
The scars on my heart have barely healed.
I don't want to see my disgrace.
The cure to my pain not found.
It is not in my circumstance.
It is not in my stitches.
Rather my dispostition.
My blue eyes teared above the line.
Every night they spill,
Disturbing the moonlight.
I keep no mirrors around.
I'm afraid of what I'll see.
A bruised heart that wil show through my face.
A trapped soul who wants free.
Maybe it's time to face my self.
To look past the scars.
To excoriate the pain.
Maybe it's time I forget my fear.
And admit that I'm a star.
Where's my mirror?
