Inner Reflection.
Looking at you is like looking in a one way mirror,
only I'm on the side of which I can see.
I watch,
only to see what your becoming,
your more like them everyday.
I've watched how they changed you,
moulded you,
shaped you,
to what they want you to be.
It's like I'm watching a movie,
one that I can't stop or rewind.
I can only watch,
whether I like it or not.
But you? You dont see.
Your on that other side,looking at your reflection.
Just looking at that pretty picture,
but I can see it was only painted.
Every Colour,
Every Shape,
Every Line.
It's how they made you.
How "perfect" you are to them.
Your like a rag doll.
But they will never know the true you,
not the way I do.
They never took the time.
Just wanted the "problems" to dissapear.
I hope one day you will take a step back from that mirror,
and look at what's around you.
Open a new canvas,
and paint a new picture for your life.
Go for what you truly desire.
Create a new path.
Become your own person.
