Mirror Stares At Me

I’ve waited for a lifetime
Waited for smile like an end rhyme

I’ve listened a lot
Listened to voices that made me hot

I’ve lost enough
lost hope and mostly peace

I’ve climbed so high
Climbed Mountains and skies

I’ve played games
Games and won none

I’ve cried much
Much to be harvest with a handkerchief

I’ve lied to kings
Lied to kings and burnt my wings

I’ve seen mirrors breaking
Breaking like outbreak and firebreak

I’ve wanted a home
A home to be proud of alone
