WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS WE DO

WHEN LIFE BRINGS ON CONTENTION

 ALWAYS MOVING ONWARD, NEVER SEEING MYSELF

I NEVER NEED GLASS TO LOOK AT, OR (THRU)

THOSE REFLECTIONS,ARE OF ONLY WASTED TIME

WHEN I LOOK AT TIME WASTED

I  WASTED MORE THAN TIME

PEOPLE BREAKING MIRRORS EVERYDAY

 AS THEY BECOME BROKEN FOREVER

MIRRORS THAT BREAK, MOST OF THE TIME

ARE BROKEN BY OUR OWN REFLECTIONS

MIRRORS HAVE ONLY ONE ANTICIPATION

TO SHOW YOU WHO YOU ARE, IF YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW

BECAUSE

MIRRORS WILL NEVER REMEMBER YOU OR I

THEY ONLY REPRODUCE WHATS AT THE PRESENT

IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS GONE, IT’S FOREVER

SO, OBSCURE IT MUST BE

THAT MIRRORS CAN SEE

THEY HAVE SEEN MANY LIKE YOU AND ME

FACES THAT LOVE AND LIE

LAUGH OR CRY 

 LIVE OR DIE

AS LIVES GO’S INTO A SHATTERS

NOT BECAUSE OF A MIRROR

BECAUSE OF ANY ACTION

SOMEONE NOT HAPPY WITH SOMEONE

OR THEMSELVES

AS THEY RETURN A SMASHING AT THEMSELVES

 NOW BLOOD ROLLS OFF THEIR HAND

THEY’VE BECOME GRATIFIED

WHEN THAT MIRROR SHATTERED

YOU SEE YOU A MILLION TIMES

FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE
