Living Reflections

I have fallen into the depts., Crumbling only on the inside, Shaking in desperation, My life was always a lie, I can no longer hear their voices, Or what they have to say, They simply look at me, And I’m pushed away, Blown back into their world, Where no one understands me, I stare into my eyes, Trying to set my soul free, The reflection can do nothing but stare back, And mock my silent screams, And display a reflection, Of a girl trying to be me, But is she all I have left? My worst enemy, The one who can tell me everything I do and don’t want to hear, A sad soul is all I see reflecting, A soul that shakes with every beat, From a heart that lives on every breath, Of a girl who cries at the thought, That the purpose of her life is death, It seems that at the end of the day, We want our heart to have the loudest beat, But with our hearts working so hard, Our souls become weak, They always say to follow your heart, But life has other things on its shelf, Things so incredible, They are just as good as love itself, Life is a struggle to find happiness, To please our living reflection, Sometimes we smile in the mirror, But more often look the other direction, I stare into my eyes, But there is nothing to see, It seems this reflection is all I have left, But sometimes even it, leaves me, I have fallen into the depts., With another one of their lies, Shaking in desperation, Don’t let another part of me die, Life is a struggle to find happiness, To find our every dream, But when I stare into my eyes, I find none in me, When I stare into my eyes, I come across a block, I find a soul who wants to live, And a heart that wants to stop, Life is a struggle to live, And I find my only protection, Exists in the most complicated of images, My very own reflection
