Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall Why can't you pick me up when I fall? Why can't you be there when I need you the most? Why can't you travel with me from coast to coast? Why do you trick? And why do you lie? Why can't you hold me when I start to cry? Why can't you be there when stuff goes bad? Why can't you manage to comfort me when I'm sad? You're supposed to be me in that mirror on the wall So mirror, mirror, why can't you pick me up when I fall?

I love your cleverness here and in your other works. You use words in a way the compels the reader to remember your sediments.
