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
