Apathy III: Deeper Meanings

I don’t care about the mirror, or whoever stands in it… This “faceless curse” may have been cast on me, but it’s felt by all who see, me…

i don't care who it is who stands before me in the mirror,

i never did‐

i never really liked him‐

i never had a reason to‐

his picture has never been clearer,

and he hasn't ever been standing nearer‐

standing in hatred's mirror,

mocking me‐

i wait, ever so patiently,

for the day that he falls, for good

so i can finally fall too, forever

he may only reflect to me,

but he projects to all around me‐

this seemingly careless he,

is just faceless‐ he,

walks around loveless‐ he,

is just mirrored by, me

he doesn't really care who it is who stands before him in the mirror

he never did‐

he never really liked him‐

he never had a reason to

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
