A Look In the Mirror

It’s scary how my reflection stares me dead in my eyes Truth takes first place as my face dismisses all lies No use to lie to the mirror as it has never did that to me As I move he moves but only my side whispers am I crazy Every blink reveals flaw once hidden by my ego Every muscle within my jaw seems to want me to know That I am what I am nothing more and nothing less A reflection of my past an attitude of no stress Screams inside my head collect themselves in my image Distorting my display I bow my head to my own image Perfection is a word placed on a throne of stars Again I look into my own eyes … I now see my emotional scars I ask what is wrong with you and my echo repeats itself So the question is asked and asked as I answer it myself Nothing I just miss what we could have been and what I could look at But as that has been said the mirror silently looks back No we both stand still in a place dipped in silence Silently silencing my hearts raging violence Cause with all the time I spent looking at you It became painfully clear to what I must do Accept that it is what it is and it will be what it will be Or to put it in my own words I will just be me So now all the dots connect and seem to be linking Will I change myself or is this just wishful thinking
