Decidedly Insane

I began crying again today
 I wasn't thinking about anything at all
I laughed in spite of myself 
 As I looked I to the mirror 
At a reflection so pathetic 
 It made my anger rise
More red and wet my eyes became
 As my breath blew like a train
I wasn't sure how I got there
 As I stared at the floor
Clinging to my body
 Like a man to his whore
I did this to me
 And I just ask for more.

I remember feeling sorrowful, watching myself cry in a mirror. Thank you. I have not remembered this fora very long time.
