Mirror



Don't follow me
I will lead you blindly off a cliff
To open your eyes
and I will find 100 ways
To say this to you along the way
Again and again

Follow me to enlightenment
I could take you there with your eyes closed
I'm not going to repeat myself
but you might find yourself repeating
some previously ;learned lessons

Don't go that way
There is a disaster down that path
I'd show you some clarity
But your eyes don't open to see it
Your brain isn't focusing to comprehend it

Come this way
I've something to show you
And soo much to tell you along the way
Live and learn
Something about prevention
And there are some things you only come to understand blindly
While the rest of life flashes by

I will learn one thing from you
And only one thing from the person next in line
Am I me? you? or them?
And where exactly is my twin?
