The Mirror
I looked into a mirror
To see what I would see
Only to find that there is nothing there
Nothing looking back at me
No mischievous smile
No sparkle in my eye
No glowing complexion
To show that Iam alive
I sat and I wondered
I thought and pondered
Was there is there
Something wrong with me
I smiled when I was happy
I smiled when I was sad
Just to make others around me
Not to feel so bad
The emptiness in the mirror
I reached out to see
Maybe I could feel something
Instead of not seeing me
It is a darkness
That cant be described
When even yourself
Your own looks you have denied.
To see what I would see
Only to find that there is nothing there
Nothing looking back at me
No mischievous smile
No sparkle in my eye
No glowing complexion
To show that Iam alive
I sat and I wondered
I thought and pondered
Was there is there
Something wrong with me
I smiled when I was happy
I smiled when I was sad
Just to make others around me
Not to feel so bad
The emptiness in the mirror
I reached out to see
Maybe I could feel something
Instead of not seeing me
It is a darkness
That cant be described
When even yourself
Your own looks you have denied.
