Silent Reflections

When I look in a mirror Its never me I see Maybe its the me I'm suppose to be Maybe I locked the door Maybe i hid the key I try to read the face that stares at me But he unlike me shakes his head He looks away. Disappointed and ashamed of a life I have forced him to live Why won't he look me in the eyes Why won't he speak and tell me The smile he once had Seems to have faded Maybe he's just jaded The silence is overwhelming Why won't he allow me to be me Why won't I allow him to be free .
