Deceptive Reflections

There she is again
That girl in the mirror
I see her mimicing all that I do
I even see her with my friends
There are times that I wish 
I were prettier than she
And sometimes I wish
She would just leave me be

I look in the mirror
And all that I see
Is some girl who dresses
And acts like me
Who she is I may 
Never know
And right now
I wish she would just go!

I fear the dark
Only when I am alone
For I know not how
Empty the dark really is
She is my dark
My empty spot
I know not 
Who she trully is

I look in the mirror
And all that I see
Is some girl who dresses
And acts like me
Who she is I may 
Never know
And right now 
I wish she would just go

Why does that mirror lie!
I can't stand it!
Almost to the poing I could cry
I want to banish it
My reflection
My deception
My mirror 
My lie

Why wont you leave me be
Why wont you just dissapear
Why must you torture me
Why must I fear
That maybe, just maybe
I am that girl
In the mirror

I look in the mirror
And all that I see
Is some girl that dresses
And acts like me
Who she is
I may never know
Sometimes I wish 
She would just go

Now I turn on the light 
And now I see
That girl is 
My past
My present
My future


She is me
