Fake Reflections

The demons that control my life, I fight

I do not know what shall become of me

A carefree guy is all the world shall see

But on this sheet of paper, I shall write

The things inside that tear away my soul

The sadness that is with me day by day

And there is not a word a soul could say

To fill the empty space within this hole

I cannot bring myself to close my eyes

For fear of knowing what it is I'll see

A battle that is fought only by me

At times I wonder why it is I try

I look into the mirror and I see

Another person staring back at me
