The Mirror

All that you are 
All that you see 
Everything about you  
Is reflected in me 
Reverse intentions 
See just who you are 
Into your soul 
To your deepest scar 
They call me the mirror 
I'm one who reflects 
All that you hide 
All you reject 
They call me the mirror 
You cannot break 
The hold of my hand,  
My grip, my embrace 
You cannot escape me 
For i am inside 
The very heart of you 
Where nothing can hide 
Open eyed I see 
Your darkest corners reached 
I am your shadow,  
I mimic what you breached 
They call me the mirror 
One who reflects 
All that you hide 
All you reject 
They call me the mirror 
You cannot break 
The hold of my hand 
My grip, my embrace 
I shine the light upon you 
As you so intently gaze 
Into the depths within you 
Setting your soul ablaze 
The hell inside you screaming 
The light it shines so bright 
 The mirror always reflects 
What needs to be set right 
They call me the mirror  
One who reflects 
All that you hide 
All you reject 
They call me the mirror 
You cannot break 
The hold of my hand, my grip, my embrace 
Yes, they call me the mirror 
One day you will see 
All lain before you 
As you made it to be 
Reflections and truth  
You try to deny 
Open to me 
As i watch you cry 
Your days will be numbered 
Your nights filled with pain 
Your future so distant 
With false promises made. 
They call me the mirror 
For your truth i see 
As i show to the world 
Which you chose to be
