Many Different Colored Hats

Many different colored Hats
Hat’s I’ve never worn before
When asked why I now wear these hats
I begin to stare onto the floor

Many different colored hats
Red, Blue, or even Green
Hat’s on my head even in public
Hat’s that no one has ever seen

Hat’s many shapes and sizes
Hat’s not fit for my own head
With these Hats I look in the mirror
My brother’s face is there instead

With these many different colored hats
I see my brothers face within me
I stare at the mirror and continuously ask
Am I the man you wanted me to be?

But there is never an answer
Only a silence that I cannot describe
Its seems as if we are playing hide and seek
And my brother has gone out to hide

Many different colored hats
These hats I will continue to wear
Until I finally get my answer
At the Mirror I will continue to stare
