Reducio

Eclipse

I see you there, staring at me from within
your mirror dimension of flickering lights,
black shadows cast with the windows shut
and doors barred with nails behind you.
The makings of a prison I made long ago,
to keep you where you belong - restrained.

I didn’t come to insult you like yesterday,
or to slam my fist at your reflection like
the day before, or the day before then.
I came bearing no fist, no weak object
to hurl into your impenetrable face.
I came to set you free, to see your way.

You don’t hide under my footsteps to
watch me burn under the weight of
ambition or cry when the lights go out
as I slug through banes of imperfection.
Instead you silently watch over me,
manifesting the worst of me. Who knew.

I see now why you exist in the mirror,
why you say nothing when I scream hate
into my every image where you appear.
You grow bigger not to intimidate me.
Your power increases not to punish me.
Tethered to me so I learn not to fear.

I am not the saint sent from Heaven.
I am not one of the selfless disciples.
I am not Satan’s child born from Hell.
I made mistakes and I’ll make more.
I have been made perfectly flawed.
No longer will you be held in contempt.

We will plough through this together.
We will share our burdens together.
We will not be possessed by each other.
We are no longer victims of each other.
We are two sides of the same coin,
day and night intertwined forever.

Awww how nice!

I've been at my Ma's for the last couple weeks since my semester's already kind of over (it will properly be once assignments are handed in!)

Not sure what my summer's gonna look like this year... Usually for me, summer is a time that's either uneventful or a time where everything goes completely wrong
