Before You Break That Mirror

Strip away all your insecurities What will you find Naked to a world so unforgiving There you are vulnerable and scared Inside your own head Confused in a strange filmar place Present is a mirror into your own self worth Is the reflection there what you see or is it make believe Do you lead with your heart I cant tell you how hard it is to see my reflection There is no light There is no goal There is no happiness My life seams to portray perfection in an american standard One boy one girl and loving wife Not at all the true concept It seems to be the opposite You see my reflection is make believe Its built apon beaten paths Tortured souls and random escapes 47 years wasted time Because i have never like myself Never saw anything but failure in myself Blamed it on all others Never answered to myself the origins of this pain Still to this day i hate the mirror on the wall Addictions and demands of myself have stained my Perfect picture of what a man is suppose to be No tears no closure no cure You see as i try to lead with this heart The mind sees what has always been hate for thee No explanation and no cause. I am not a bad person but i am bad at figuring out who i am. So i say figure out the reflection before you break that mirror.

If we say, ‘I am’ and stop there, without adding a description to what we imagine ourselves to be, the humming aliveness of I Am comes to the foreground because of our choice to be the flow rather than a fixed coordinate (identity).
