Hit the Lights

Call my name from the fog Look at my reflection Through the looking glass And watch myself degrade. Hit the lights I can't bear to see It burns my soul for eternity The pause button is frozen Life is my sacrifice The play button is broken fast forward to my demise. Catch a smile savour it for a while Melancholy is a life style you're not worthwhile, bottom of the pile. Dominate your stance Steal a glance out of your trance Fragment this dance.

Powerful language and emotion. You rhyme 'frozen' with 'broken,' and 'sacrifice' with 'demise,' how cool is that! Clever mono-rhyming in your final two verses, and great construction throughout. Well done, Stacey! Best wishes, Keith
