Eace To Face

Lifer and death have their own place And rarely do they occupy the same space But like all things in life, anything is possible As the mind thinks, imagination makes it probable So what would you do if you met yourself Face to face? Your certain death is only days away During this time, your real thoughts come into play The truth of your past, present, your true love and hate All your deep hidden secrets come flooding through the gates What would you do if you met yourself Face to face? Suddenly, a being comes in that's a mirror copy of you Their body, their face, their voice and movements are you However, science couldn't give them your thoughts or memory Yet they know if you're lying and your true sincerity So what would you do if you met yourself Face to face? Their job is to be you and take over your life Your job is to tell them who you are, no deceit and no strife To tell them your deepest pains, secrets and thoughts Your greatest pride, your hearts desire and unfulfilled goals you sought So what would you do if you met yourself Face to face? You can't lie to yourself, so what would you say? The true you must come forth with no delay As you tell yourself who you really are, it hurts like hell You rip the bandage off the womb and remove the veil Then you think, they could be a better you for they know who you are Your pain, they didn't experience yet the hurt they know, by far To friends and family they have to be you, with all reaction the same So your job is to make them the best you, for their success is your fame What would you do if you met yourself Face to face? Would you be true to yourself Or live another life displaced.
