That moment ........

when you realize you've become that which you loathe,
having let go of your values and beliefs.
Self-deceit had invaded on the quiet
and you stare back at your life in disbelief.



(I wrote this at a very low point in my life, when I looked at myself in the mirror, and no longer recognized the person staring back at me. But .......... I am happy to report that I am no longer at that point, and are on the road to recovery and happiness.)
