Mirror Mirror
MIRROR MIRROR
Mirror, mirror as i gaze at you on the wall, I am sure.....
I am Paul not Paula
I am 6" 2" I am not any shorter
I am black I'm not white
I ignore the darkness, embrace the light
I have dreads with blond bits in my hair
I'm a well built grizzly not a cute care bear
But mirror answer me this am I clever or stupid
Am I poisoned with the arrow of Cupid
Have i mastered the written language, the spoken word
or do I just talk shite or is the last statement absurd
I look in the mirror
i ask am a saint or a sinner
Am i ugly Betty or a beauty pageant winner
Does the sun shine when I enter or is the room empty when I leave
Mirror on the wall I ask non but truth
i implore you not to deceive
Mirror mirror on the wall
if I am the fairest then answer my call
Mirror your a reflection back says what you see
But I wonder how I reflect on others and how they see me
