Switching Shadows

Every morning I wake and look in the mirror
Only to find a reflection that is not myself
Blackness drowns out my features showing me only a shadow
An anonymous outline like one of an unknown suspect
If only I could see my eyes to find who I am
Maybe I could fill this empty space deep within
And if I could see my entire face
I know my nerves would mend giving me feeling again
This frustration scares the mice in my head
Turning wheels producing thoughts once again
An electric current shining right through my mirror
Uncovering the reflection that is really there
I stare into the eyes of a killer
An emotionless replica of myself
As murderous thoughts begin to increase
My fingers tingle as they gain some feeling
While my love and remorse is reduced to nothing
I shatter my mirror for it has exposed me.
I can't stand the person I am as a whole
So as I change clothes, I switch shadows
Putting on another mask yet remaining the same as before
This is who I am unable to change anymore
