Mirror Image

I've made an enemy out of mirrors, a foe out of my alter ego

I plot and scheme just to avoid seeing what lies within

A new insecurity? Or a truth.... 

Implementing The thirty six stratagems, Sun Tzu's art of war and every thing in between

All feckless

But who can really wage a war on themselves and win? 

So I run from them, willfully ignorant 

Refusing to confront yet achingly aware

Of the fallacies and falsities built up inside my head

Verity a foregone conclusion 

As I swim in misconceptions and fight battles with delusions

Not of grandeur but of decimation 

I want to purge these thoughts, but of course! 

Refute every erroneous impression 

But is such a feat  one for a coward who runs from the mirror's reflection?.......
