THERE IN THE MIRROR

There in the mirror I see
A girl that looks just like me
With deep and grieving eyes
And an unhealed broken heart

There in the mirror I see
A clear version of me
She hurts herself in every cut
And let herself die in every word

There is the mirror I see
A pair of eyes I truly known
There is nothing inside of it
Just darkness and endless void

The in the mirror I see
A girl as lovely as she could have been
So misunderstood and forsaken
Yet alive and trying to exist

There in the mirror I see
A reflection of a sinful woman
She twisted her lips in an evil smile
And scorn everyone with her vile tongue

There in the mirror I see
Tears and blood falling down her face
But the evil smile was gone
And replaced with an agonizing scream

There in the mirror I see
My true nature hiding inside of me
Though I know this all along
I still wear a mask to hide it well

There in the mirros I see
Not only myself but my demon
Though I know he has me caged all along
I still hope he will someday let me go

There in the mirror I see
Nothing but the true reflection of me
So why do you have to wonder
Why I cannot tell you more about me?
