It Stares Back at You

Photo by Mitchell Hartley on Unsplash

The abyss

Of my mind

Stares back at me

As Nietzsche warned

From deep within

It growls

I shudder

I look away

And then look back

Like Pandora’s box

It beckons me forward

Look again

Come closer

Look deeper

Beyond this point there be dragons

I look away

And then look back
