Withdrawal

I look in the mirror objectively It haunts Haunts the soul and respects NOT my dignity It comes close But it drives me further away In vino veritas, they say the truth can drive you sane. Maybe just Maybe We are not alone when we look in the mirror Our shadows split infinitely, multiplied horror of Past Withdrawal kind of fits neatly into my plan It kills Kills the need for any attention and respects my dignity It is far away But it is getting closer Requiescate in pace.
