Image In the Mirrow

IMAGE IN THE MIRROR                 4/15/01



That image in the mirror kinda looks like me,
Scratching and clawing at the glass trying to break free.

Reflection after reflection, and glare after glare
I know staring straight into it I should be standing there.

Every movement every inch, whether I move a yard or an inch.
That image in the mirror is definitely me,
Exactly as I see.

Crying out, than exhaling and being free.
