Reflections

Look at me

Looking at you

Looking at me

          What do you see?

Beauty in the ripples

Shame in the silver

Hate in the fractured

          How does it make you feel?

Pride in the skin

Pain in the eyes

Denial in the truth

          What are you going to do?

Change who you are

Defeat what you're not

          Maybe next time

You'll like what you see

When you look at me

Looking at you

Looking at me
