Shards

Stare into the mirror, what is it you think you see?
A stranger looking back, or a forgotten memory?
Shadows of self, pieces of thoughts you once suppressed
They now resurface, to return again

What is real? What is illusion? Thoughts twisted, into confusion
Are they dreams, or obsessions? Fantasies, or confessions?

Too horrible to contemplate, or have you realized too late?
A shattered mind, a wretched fate, a personalities that separate

Collapsing, like a house of cards
Splintering into countless shards

A mind torn apart

Memories you can't believe, brought back through guilt and grief
Nightmares now all too real, waking brings no relief
Your mind's eye blinded, sanity has lost control
To a part of yourself, best left unknown

What is real? What is illusion? Thoughts twisted, into confusion
Are they dreams, or obsessions? Fantasies, or confessions?

Too horrible to contemplate, or have you realized too late?
A shattered mind, a wretched fate, a personalities that separate

Collapsing, like a house of cards
Splintering into countless shards
