House of Mirrors

I looked into
the hall of glass
and every mirror
showed the past
dozens of eyes
stared keen at me
no way to hide
only truth was to see
inverted truth destroyed the image
reflected shapes clarified the facts
inverted truth destroyed the image
distorted mirrors strained my reality
my inner cage
wedges my mind
my weaker self
is not to surmount
i felt impelled
to watch myself
forced to dissect
what has become of me
inverted truth destroyed the image
reflected shapes clarified the facts
inverted truth destroyed the image
distorted mirrors strained my reality
the house of mirrors let me fear
the house of mirrors shows it so clear
the house of mirrors let my demons appear
oh dear, I don’t like it in here
