Everyone is put on earth for a reason
What is mine?
I stare at myself
Looking at nothing
I’m nothing
Am I here?
Do I exist?
To feel pain
As I look at my reflection
I see nothing.
Nothing but myself
Fallen into my sin
Death is near
Who I didn’t know
Comes to save me
Am I worth saving?
I can’t bear to look at myself
My reflection
Hidden from life
A black turtle
That’s who I am

Can I change who I am?
No ability
No power
No existence

No one can save me
But my reflection
