"THE MIRROR"
By athenagoddesss •
I LOOK INTO MY MIRROR
AND DO NOT LIKE WHAT I SEE
THE THOUGHTS RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD
THE PERSON I KNOW IS NOT ME
THE FEEL OF YOUR HEART
POUNDING NEXT TO ME
EACH KISS, EACH CARESS
TAKES ME WHERE I WANT TO BE
MY EYES THAT PIERCE
MY SOUL IN TWO
CRASHING THE WAVES
THAT TAKES ME TO YOU
I FIND MYSELF THINKING
OF WHAT IS, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
THE THRASHING VOICES
SINGING A SONG NOT SEEN
THE MIRROR CRACKS
AND SHATTERS MY SOUL
BLEEDING FREE MY THOUGHTS
AND MAKING ME WHOLE
YOU TOUCH MY HEART
THAT SEEPS THROUGH MY EYES
THE PAIN AND LOVE
WHICH BURYS THE FIRE IN MY SKY
MY MIRROR
WHICH I COULD NOT BREAK
HAS MY SOUL ENTHRALLED
AND MY HEART AT STAKE
I SEARCH THE GLASS
FOR SIGNS THAT WILL BE ME
FOR WHICH MY EYES
COULD NOT SEE
TEARS THAT FALL
FROM MY SADDENED EYES
HAVE MADE ME WONDER
AND SOUGHT MY SOUL WITH A SIGH
I STREAK THE PANE
WITH MY SWEETENED SMILE
SEARCHING THE HEART
AND SEEKING PEACE FOR AWHILE
LIKE NO OTHER REASON
I TAKE THE PAIN
CARING NOT MY MIND
NOR TEARING APART MY FAME
I STAND ALONE
FORESAKING MY HEART
WITH TEARS IN MY EYES
TEARING MY SOUL APART
PLAYING TUG OF WAR
I STAND FREE
WITH EACH MINDS EYE
I BECOME ME
I SHATTER THE MIRROR WITHIN
AND STAND ON MY OWN
FREE OF LIFES TURMOIL
WHERE MY WINGS HAVE FLOWN
LIKE ALL OTHER PAINS
I SEE THE ME I WANT TO BE
WITH PEACE OF MIND
SETTING MY HEART AND SOUL FREE...
