This may say more about the reader than the poem read, but I was fully captivated by this and did not find much at all that dark about it, until reflecting there right at the end. I find this highly relatable. My interpretation is a feeling of being unable to escape but then possibly realizing that escaping is not what is really desired, because escapism is only a delaying of confrontation.
At least we still have mirrors, they are better than screens. A screen does not look back--

This is the story of the thing you hold onto.
This is the story of the thing that keeps you holding on.
I really liked the juxtaposition of this.

And the overall tone as well, of fighting through hard moments and persevering, and becoming all the more yourself through the difficult journey that is life.
