He Murdered My Reflection

I promise — that ain't me I'm not the guy in the mirror The guy is so beardy Cheeky faced With a big thick lips That isn't me Remember when I smile It's a crooked one One side of my lip Seems to go up While the other just hits the ground Like a heavyweight... Hahaha Now, this guy in the mirror He smoulders instead He doesn't even smile Well, he might but only when he's mischievous When he wants to hate on me Especially in the morning before breakfast This is overboard but That guy in the mirror murdered my reflection I could see it in his eyes But I just can't prove it Look! He just winked! My reflection was the opposite of him It's got my every detail It smiles even in my toughest days It cheers me even when no one will It consoles me when I needed one the most My reflection loves me Like I said That ain't me That's not my reflection Because I don't believe That people change — What's inside just keeps unveiling with time Now, these days When I stare at me in the mirror I don't like what I see In place of my reflection All I see is this An egoistic narcissist with beards This guy is selfish Always wanting to make me look bad It seems like he wants the best for me But I doubt his intentions I've never been a cynic before but I think i'ma be one with this guy This imposter wrote this in the mirror That no one deserves my apology Not even those I love He told me that No one steps on my toes That I won't pump up my fists This guy told me that I could do whatever I want With anyone's Emotions He said to me All that i'ma take care of Is just gonna be me At first it seemed to make sense I kinda agreed Because his words are convincing It seemed like one of them inspirational quotes And I really wanna key in He seemed wiser than I was But when I realized That I've lost so much To please this guy in the mirror And I miss my shy reflection I decided to write this So y'all could read Right now, I'm about to sleep And if y'all wake in the morning And see some changes in me That guy in the mirror Switched our spots— I'll be in the mirror Please come find me there And charge that dude With a first degree murder Because he killed someone He murdered my reflection That guy in the mirror...
