In This Hall Of Mirrors

This hall of Mirrors

Tick-BOOM
The clocks, silver, and blue,
yellow and green, metallic but true.
A circle, a square,
An oval, not there
Hands dancing everywhere.
Large and small, nothing at all,
Painted on numbers at your beck and call
You have no control in this world that you own,
All the white spaces and you're all, all alone
What do you do, in this hall of mirrors?
Well, it gets clearer and clearer
As it gets nearer and nearer
In this hall of Mirrors

@Afra- Thank you so much! I try to write differently than other people to stand out sometimes
I love to write poetry, trying a new style. I like the confused, nothing is everything tone.
