Mirror Mirror
Mirror , Mirror
On the wall
Looking back
Upon reflection
Thank you for being brutally honest
and in doing so pointing out the patently obvious starring back at me
That in this case I am not indeed
the victim
But rather what I am in fact is the
actual perpetrator serial offender
And but again at very least I already
possess
A face befitting my endless list of
crime's
To encapsulate and match my
mugshots in oh so many
devilishly evil ways
I should in future be the archetypal
Bogeyman poster boy or child for
generations to come
Parents are then able to use to scare
their children
If and when they plain flat out refuse
say for example
Give back chat won't go to bed brush
teeth eat green's or do set predisctibe
school homework
And if that don't work or scare them
enough then at least they will be
somewhat prepared and won't be
phased
When 1 day they 2 end up getting
caught and may meet and come face
to face with me
And they become an inmate just like
me corralled inside 4 prison wall's where
everyone and everyone is the bogeyman
And the mirror's are all cracked so
the shard's can be used as weapon's
Or to see who is sneaking up on you
