Dark Reflection

Dark Reflection

A dark reflection stares back

A damming image of me

Mocking the innocent

Trusting child I used to be

My blissful existence was torn apart

I tried to hold on to my morality in vain

All I got for my valiant fight

Were paranoia, horror, fear and pain

I tell myself that my actions are right

That what I do is for the greater good

But still my last shred of conscience screams

What I must do, nobody should

I try to comfort myself

Believe what I have done was for the free

But every time I look in the mirror

A dark reflection is all that I see
