Apocalypse
Now I stand
surrounded by objects which I realise are useless,
and I am terrified by horror, transfixed by evil.
The choices
I made have they been the wrong ones?
I look in the
mirror and I know that behind me is another mirrror,
and wherever I look there are more mirrors, more faces, my faces staring at
me,
each exactly the same,
each so different,
each with an expression of horror.
Why can I not
see the beautiful face, the face of acceptance?
Save me from
damnation!
