My Mirror Enemy Poem by Kelly Iyogun

There was a fire that raged within me, i tried to fight it but its power overwhelmed me, it was as though an immortal took possession of my broken mortal spirit.

I ran to my room with the strength my mortal bones could carry, i picked a mirror to gaze at the reflection i was fast becoming, i stared at the mirror to find a stranger gazing at me with his blood thirsty eyes.

The looks in them where dark, vicious and hideous, they frightened the hell out of me.

I was fragile now, frail and weak Imustered all the energy I could to scream but the
voices i heard where like the shriek of
thousand dead.

Who had i become, how did I grow to be this vile HOW! ! ! HOW! ! ! I couldn't cry cause the tears that flowed out of my eyes where like a mixture of blood and vinegar.

I paused for a moment to phantom how i became this evil and then it all began to make sense to me.

This demons that now took possession of me where the little bad habits i thought
harmless 'the lying tongue' 'pilfering'
'vain thoughts' 'pride' 'envy' 'lust'

How do I defeat the monster am fast becoming?
HOW? HOW?
Those thought clouded my brain.

Then I remembered God's word in 2corinthians 5: 17 it cut through my heart
like a two edged sword 'THEREFORE IF
ANYONEBE IN CHRIST HE IS A
NEWCREATURE OLD THINGS AREPASSED AWAY BEHOLD ALL THINGS ARE BECOME
NEW'

I held on to this confession of christ, I
had no understanding on what I did but I
held firmly to the name of christ and
behold a new feeling overwhelmed me

It was the greatest that have
ever happened to a man, I picked up my
mirror an gazed at the man in it, he was
awesome, radiant and beautiful when I
opened my mouth to speak behold
the countenance that proceeded out of my
mouth I couldn't comprehend it for it
strengthened bones and edeified my
spirit from that moment I knew one thing I DEFEATED MY MIRROR ENEMY and now I am a new Creature.
