Reflections
looking into the mirror
the truth of what my mind feels
isn't necisarily me
looking at myself thinking of what i should change
what i must do
The reality of reflections
aren't always that profound when you look into a mirror
inner workings
society has me ashamed
no guilt feelings
i paint my own inner reflections
on mirrors
taking the world outside of me
changing me from within
i dont always see the truth when i reflect upon reality
and reality outsmarts me more than i care to admit
A game of life, to save lives, is something id rather see
than the confusion that there is to this routine
The reality of wisdom passed along, always trying to improve itself
when i look in the mirror
i see these things
makes it easier to reflect
when i work to show myself
the outside world changing me
from inside out
my own hands in my head
a reminder of what life actually is
and what is a delusion
when i do my reflecting
i may feel i see enlightenment
yet there is more to the picture to see
Like peering into the depths of a mirror
to scry to see the future
writing down the reality of the world around me
outside taken in
the mirror not so easy to define
a reflection of the world painted on the mirror
and one so i can see the beauty
i desire yet deny
