Reflection in the Mirror
I can sit here and stare at your face but I always think how can we be different but the same,
We see the same things, we see them through the same eyes but very differently,
We cry at the same time but the reasons are hard for the other to understand,
On the outside the same scars show within the battles are so very different,
A clash of light and dark, a battle of weak against the strong,
You stare back at me with doubt in your eyes to how we’ll make to the next day,
Try to keep one and other strong it falls failure because I’ve given up,
You never looked to others for support, but I did looking for comfort in the arms of someone to love us,
Pulled me back in fear of someone actually getting to know the secrets we hide the secrets of our past,
Not understanding I need the warmth of another’s touch, there arms around me telling me everything’s ok,
I reach out and try to touch your face to make you understand were in this together were never alone,
All I feel is the cold glass, all I see is the reflection of my face in the mirror with tears streaming down my cheeks,
I see nothing but someone scared, trying to be fearless but there weak inside,
A face that hopeless, worthless, a waste of anyone’s heart, soul, or love,
Discussed by the face that stares back at me fists fly and the reflection is now of millions of faces laughing back at me,
Fall to my knees blood rushing, tears flowing, life fading away,
All because of the reflection of my self that’s so different that of what I want to be,
The mirror shows the reflection of what I want to be, strong, beautiful, hopeful, loved,
The reflection in the mirror mocks me, haunts me, makes my life hell, all because it’s a reflections of myself,
