Voided mirror
I looked inwards, I looked inside myself, I was looking for value, for self worth.
I saw nothing valuable, nothing a thief would want, no one would steal me away.
I looked for my inner child.
For the wonder of life, for joy.
I found only despair.
I looked forward I saw only an aged person, full of sorrow but otherwise empty of everything else.
I stared back at myself; now as I am, and all I could see was anger and sadness.
I was voided of everything else.
