The Weak and the Wounded

In my left hand pocket, I may not have been aware,

But there's a note addressed to "I Am."

In my right hand pocket, I may not have been aware,

Another note addressed to "The Cynic."

They both read: "Look into the mirror, you'll never see yourself like this again."

If I evaluate and analyze, I become twice as guilty.

I must deny and learn to reprimand myself for this fascination.

Is it in your mind? In my mind?

Should I withdraw or should I deposit, should I risk everything for this?

Terrified for someone to show me what I will not become.

Deny. Reprimand. Myself.

Should I risk everything for this?
