Beyond the mirror by Phoenix M. Rodenburg (classic literature list .TXT) 📕

Beyond the mirror

Grab through its shining face
Open the gates of true disguise,
And find a world of bizarre beauty.

Can you tolerate the uncertainty of your decisions?

See the angels of darkness
Bound and gagged in their cages
Looking at you with blind eyes.

Can you stand the pitiful sight of your scarred and ruined self?

Unlock the grating of the white tomb
Look at the cuffed phoenix
Wallowing in its own ashes, no longer immortal.


Can you sustain its icy fires welding the pieces of your heart?

Open the portal and enter the golden hall
It’s filled with cute beasts
waiting to be unleashed.

Do you really believe in the spotless glowing of your soul?

Cross the border and cut through the rusty chains
free the demons of light
longing to face the black sun.

Feel the essence of your ego worming out?

Tear down the black veil of ignorance
Spot the persona non grata
And truly embrace the sleeping beauty of your soul.

Can you bear the burden of this simple truth?
