Shadow In The Mirror Poem by R B Seals

Silent is the killer
Of spirit and soul:
Cold, efficient user of
Stealth and subterfuge
To dismantle the whole.

Formed within, a creation
Born of lament and anguish
Takes root, festers and
Multiplies—crafting plans
To effect the final wish.

Captive in a mind game
Where depression presides,
The silent many—despondent,
Disillusioned—move to seek,
To act, to welcome the lasting
Peace that death provides.
