Afraid To Look In The Mirror

Mind scratched and bleeding, cut with image's, memories bring, anger bubbling, trying to do it's duty of long ago. Sliding away from reality's pictures, afraid to look in the mirror. Fear of seeing a monster reflected back, a fear no matter how unrealistic. A hatred borne of long ago for the person one has become to know. Feeling the shame of past abuse, afraid to look directly in anyone's eyes. Hiding shyly behind a mother's back, trying not to let anyone see the sin she thinks she has become through abuse.
