Twisted Gateway Poem by Asha Adeana

I’m standing in front of this mirror
Wondering about just what I see
This girl that looks a pound me
Just wont leave
For only she knows everything
She’s nothing like me
The oppset in fact
For she doesn’t wear all black
Her hair is nice and neat
Her face of peaceful
And heart of gold
She looks so beautiful
I just don’t understand
This mirror I stand in front
To just walking away
Cause that girl could never be me
For I look nothing like her
Only she looks down a pound me
As if I done it
If like I took her away
Shoved her into the dark world
At which she lies
So twisted and curled
And that she’s trapped
Cause I wont let her free
For she use to be me
One that doesn’t pop pills
Just to break free
And one that don’t smoke weed
Just so the day will fly by
One that didn’t hide from none
But now I run from all
For this mirror is just the twisted gateway
Just to remind me of what I lost
To show me how my life could have turned out
For this I broke it
For I never wanted to look back
Cause she can’t escape
For I put her there
When I went to see him
But I put her there
But not to break free
So that her heart would not turn out like mine
And for this is why I could never be her
