Got in a huge fight with my mother, kind of just venting my anger out in a less-destructive way than tearing up the pillows in my room and punching a hole through my wall (done that before...not a happy ending). O.o Feel free to criticize, I really don't care.
Serpent mother, try to bite;
Try to kill me,
For all I care.
The monster in the mirror -
Well, you ask this reflection
Dear mirror, mirror
On the wall,
Am I the worst,
The worst of all?
Yes, it’s true,
The image won’t lie,
So serpent mother,
Go back to your chamber.
Be afraid of the world.
But keep your nightmares to yourself.
Don’t come to me,
Don’t make this my fault.
Kill me if you must
But don’t,
Don’t ever make me
Try to slay the demons
Of your soul.
Serpent mother, I cannot ever
Fight these things away.
They are your own design, not mine;
I can’t fight with wit or word,
Can’t do this, I should know
Because it is
Inherited, this mind,
This fear of our own
Creation, design, serpent mother.
You’ve instilled the venom
Like you brought blood to my veins,
And I’ll ask the monster, my reflection…
I’ll ask it -
Dear mirror, mirror,
On the wall,
Can I change,
Or not at all?
Yes, it’s true,
The image won’t lie,
So serpent mother,
You’ve imprisoned me
In your world.
And now we are monsters of a kind.
