Mirror mirror on the wall,
Can you feel what I feel at all?
Pain and fear, blood and war,
Terrible monsters found only in lore?
Anguish, despair, and flowing blood,
Flowing out of you like a flood?
Jail, containment, feeling trapped
An overall knowledge that your life is being sapped?
Fire, heat, flame, and burns,
Demonic beings taking turns,
Ripping your heart out or being burnt at the stake,
Praying to no one that soon you’ll awake?
If I don’t get out soon I will go insane,
Thoughts of murder start invading my brain:
Arsenic, and dagger, and bullet, and sword,
With a new found courage I stood up and roared.
They all ran in fear. I was their King!
What they brought to me, onto them I will bring!
Don’t you dare judge me with your green eyes!
You can’t hate me! It is you I despise!

Every once in a while I realize the depth of the images that my generations childhood stories hold.
