Reflection

Image is reflection cast back on oneself The days we don't care we just put on the shelf When we look at ourselves it is not what we see It's the torment of truth that will NOT set us free If the world cannot show us whats really the deal We will never see what it is that is real Why we continue after all that we've seen Toward hope we will push for our outlook to lean Behind our eyes is really all that we see The dreams we put forth are the roots of the tree To look at ourselves is often quite tough Ignoring ourselves makes everything rough The mirror will shatter if we look at it deep If we ignore what it says we'll permanently sleep So never ignore what you're capable of The difference will be between hatred and love
