The Mirror
When you look into the mirror,
What do you see?
A reversed image of yourself?
I wish I could see myself,
My true self.
I dont see a man,
I see a boy.
Choices sorround his mind,
Hatred engulfs his visions,
And love pushes him away.
He runs from the names,
Running from everyone,
Has become his life.
I wonder what this child is thinking,
When he stares at the mirror,
At this man in the reflection.
Is this going to be his future?
Or was it already his past?
What do you see?
A reversed image of yourself?
I wish I could see myself,
My true self.
I dont see a man,
I see a boy.
Choices sorround his mind,
Hatred engulfs his visions,
And love pushes him away.
He runs from the names,
Running from everyone,
Has become his life.
I wonder what this child is thinking,
When he stares at the mirror,
At this man in the reflection.
Is this going to be his future?
Or was it already his past?
