Mirrors

Swing my fists
try to break the glass
but another day like this will pass
you want to be different
always the same
count all your faces
know them by name
empty eyes
hide your face
laugh it off
hate this place
afraid to get stuck
scared to move
too much to change
so much to prove
weightless words
ignore the cost
promise broken
promise lost
see your mouth move
lose what you say
you have your golden moments
they always go away
swing my fists
to break you free
but my days are growing longer
and I’m tired of what I see



-Lo
