Myself In the Mirror

If I see myself in the mirror of my thoughts I laugh so hard that I cry For I’m a product of broken pieces Smoked away in different shades Of broken dreams When I look at myself in the mirror I almost got choked in smiles Or maybe I laughed too hard I laugh insanely at the shredded image The image I had thought would dazzle today When I see myself in the mirror I could hear him say; Hey! Edison, you’ve become a scorn And a thorn In the flesh of lot. When I see myself in the mirror I laugh until I choked For how could life turn out this way Giving me 32 years of nothingness How should I just exist with no trace of living Year in, year out with no trace of happiness, Maybe I did laugh too much At the person in the mirror.
