Cruel World

Staring into the mirror
Having no idea who is staring back at me
When i look in the mirror all i know is the reflection i am seeing is sad
Very sad
The reflection
It looks lifeless,
Exhausted because this world surrounding it is so cruel
Cruel to mind 
Cruel to the soul
A lifeless vessel 
Waiting to expire
Waiting for the pain to stop
It never does
The pain never goes away
