The Mirror
Have looked into this mirror
All I see is the horror
The terror to come.
That will happen to some.
I have seen my soul
My own as a whole
This is not me...
I must be dreaming.
Heavy Panting...
This is not me
CRASH!!!
From this beast of terror
I could not save them
A coward I am
A defeated warrior
Like a lost lamb
My flaws I condemn
This is not me
In this mirror...This strange mirror
This is not me
I must correct this error...This strange error.
My flaws in fragments
In the mirror's pieces scattered
I must gather again these elements
Each unaltered
For another mirror
For the revelation of a real me
A warrior and their savior.
A real me...
