A Battle in the Mirror

I am kinder than most. Lots of people are kind, You are not special.

I am Positive.

yeah. Positively worthless.

I am optimistic.

Why? What’s good in your life?

I am supportive.

You can help everyone but yourself. Ironic.

I am compassionate.

Too bad no one wants you to love them

I am caring.

Nobody needs you to care about them.

I am helpful.

Not really. You just mess things up.

I am friendly.

Too friendly. No one wants you around.

I am different.

Is that supposed to be a good thing.

I am independent.

That’s the same thing as lonely right?

I am trying?

Why bother? Just give up.It’ll never be enough.

Me Vs. You

I look at you and I see everything.

A beginning, a middle;

something that I don’t want to end.

I look at you and I see a future;

that dreams and goals can be attained;

a life worth living.

I look at you and I see joy.

A heart that keeps on giving,

a smile that fills my soul with light.

I look at you and I see hope,

desire, ambition, friendship,

amongst other reasons to keep going.

I look at you you and I see a reason-

A reason to want to experience

everything wonderful life could offer.

I look at you and I see potential;

Maybe, just maybe, a dark world

could be filled with joys I can barely dream of now.

I look at you and I see a path

through the struggles and obstacles

that could lead me into redemption.

You look at me and you see me.

Nothing could ever break my heart more

than knowing I am not those things for you.
