Mirror Image Poem by Craig Mize

Red and blue lights illuminate the night sky
And sirens can be heard from miles away.
Yellow caution tape litters Sean's yard,
I know now the day of reckoning has come.

I always knew that he was capable of this,
I always knew that he was going to kill'em.
Sean never did like his parents;
Always complaining about how mean they were.
How they never listened to how he felt.

He told me though, I always listened.
I was always there through his dark tales.
His pain was evident in every word that he spoke,
The hurt and anger boiled inside of him.
His thoughts that was so gruesome and violent
Has finally came to fruition.

Sorrow now pollutes the atmosphere,
And the rumors spread like a wild fire.
Everybody wondering what was his reasoning.
Why did it have to come to this?
Was the signs being ignored?
Was signs even there? Or was he just that evil?
Sean and I are the only ones to know the truth.

The truth is the signs was always there,
The evilness was always there for everybody to see.
He was crying out for help to control it,
But his pleas was constantly ignored.
Now the people that loved him the most,
His parents; they had to die for being blind.
For not noticing who he really was.
Now it's my turn to showcase who I really am.
