Reflections

I look in the mirror
But I just can’t recognize
Who that person is
That’s looking through my eyes

These eyes filled with thoughts
That I just don’t how to say
I take a deep breath
What am I thinking of anyway?

Behind troubled eyes
Lies a troubled mind
All because of the answers
I just can’t find

I scowl at the man
Locked within the mirror
Because I can point out
Every imperfection there

Locked in the mirror
That’s how I feel
Because nothing in this world
Ever seems quite real

A glassy tear
Hovers on my eye
Watching the mirrored man
Begin to sigh

He wipes his eye
And walks away
Leaving me again
Within the glass today
