Mesmerized by the silvery shine,
I stare into the mirror of mine.
A twisted reflection back at me,
Are all the people I'll never be.

Teasing me with their perfect faces,
Gnarled into each others embraces.
To them it must be so routine,
I reach out to touch the puzzling scene.

Mirror, Mirror,
On the wall,
Will I ever be as good as them all?

Inhuman, Inadequate, Defective, Imperfect.
Never as good, I had to disconnect.
So isolated in this dark room,
Content, yet trapped, in my self-built tomb.

As I twist into a distressing shape,
I cry and I try to find an escape.
Haunted by people who click so naturally,
I realize this world will never acknowledge me.
this poem regards mostly my inferiority complex, but also touches down on my severe social anxiety ._.
so yuppers. my first legit poem in a while :meow:
tell me what you think~

cool;Ive been goin on a couple years of anti-social behavior..its just to much bullshit,didnt really feel up to it,and the room i lived in has become like a sanctuary to me,and its gone now,but its like a place in my mind i can go anytime now,the memorys' so vivid,if you want you can see pictures,i have a folder called four-wall confinement in my gallery,at the time i was self-medicating,and i wrote all over the walls,and cover them with pictures and such,turned from a story of darkness to the story of how i found the light :)
