Mirror Mirror

Mirror , Mirror On the wall Looking back Upon reflection Thank you for being brutally honest and in doing so pointing out the patently obvious starring back at me That in this case I am not indeed the victim But rather what I am in fact is the actual perpetrator serial offender And but again at very least I already possess A face befitting my endless list of crime's To encapsulate and match my mugshots in oh so many devilishly evil ways I should in future be the archetypal Bogeyman poster boy or child for generations to come Parents are then able to use to scare their children If and when they plain flat out refuse say for example Give back chat won't go to bed brush teeth eat green's or do set predisctibe school homework And if that don't work or scare them enough then at least they will be somewhat prepared and won't be phased When 1 day they 2 end up getting caught and may meet and come face to face with me And they become an inmate just like me corralled inside 4 prison wall's where everyone and everyone is the bogeyman And the mirror's are all cracked so the shard's can be used as weapon's Or to see who is sneaking up on you

You write from the heart Christopher, but I must tell you some of the nastiest dangerous bastards I’ve met in my life are very plausible looking people, I do get your brutal self loathing poem, shanks and all, but I don’t believe your the bad person you think is reflected in the mirror, excellent work, cheers David

Thank you David Sir My pen does drive my heart indeed Sir. And I know I am not the person I think or perceive I am. It's just how I kind of feel as I love nothing better than being hard on myself. Cheers thanks as always ta
