EYE LASH

Look at me & know the truth -

Symbolism is the real & true.

Shadows hold me here

Helpless & lonely.

The room is both cold

& inviting...

My prison is frightening.

The mirror held between my legs -

The bruise of darkness pelts my body -

The flash of light blinds & comforts me -

The turn of a key -

You open to me -

At last I am free -

Of the shadows that held me

down & tear stained in the hardship

of my depression.
