Looking At My Reflection

(major venting) mirror mirror who do I see?!? "you see your true self what do you mean?!?" looking at my reflection I finally saw just the kind of person I was after all I saw the cruel smirk and the deep cold eyes I saw my fingers crossed hiding behind mirror mirror can this be so?!? "you see for yourself just how dark is your soul" looking at my reflection I finally realized that this whole time I was hiding behind a disguise I was hiding the evil that I truly was fooling those around me even my own heart mirror mirror can I accept what I see??? "you silly child look deeper than me" I was confused by who I saw just couldn't believe but looking back on life I realized that the person in front of me is me....... I am a foolish person who chose fear over love I am a weak minded person who let others rule over me I feel guilty because I lost someone I was going to leave I am stupid too believe I can get back the love I threw away I am crazy to ever want a happy-ending the list goes on and on but one thing remains my reflection shows who I made myself become it shows my cowardice my hesitation it shows everything I do not want to be my reflection is my constant reminder too fight even if I know I will lose too be brave even if the world is swarmed in darkness a long time ago I was given a shield my shield tried so hard to protect me tried so hard to be there for me but I tossed it away for an empty gun I do not regret it because now I can appreciate what I had even though it is now truly lost everyone has a reflection that they see but don't see everyone sees what they wish to see even though its false a reflection is just that a reflection...
