Lying Eyes

One would think that

Eyes tell the truth

But this is not so

For eyes are merely

Puppets of the mind

A slave to the puppeteer

Eyes are the ones

That see your reflection

But the mind views it

Differently

With holes and gaps

And added pieces

No wonder you

See a monster

A shred of human

Not worthy of

Existence

'Is this the truth?'

You ask yourself

The mind responds

Loud and clear

'You are different

Flawed and imperfect

Everyone looks down on you

Because you

Don't belong'

You are alone

Alone in darkness

Only the sound

Of salty tears and

Broken spirits

No ones coming

Because they don't

Know that you exist.

You don't exist

Not anymore.
