Knock Knock

//                       
                        "Knock knock" 
                           Who's there? 
                         "Knock knock"
                           Who's there? 
                         "Knock knock" 
           Hello? Is anyone really there?


I open the door where the mysterious knocks came from
To enter a room full of mirrors 
Reflecting a girl who has her finger on the trigger.  

                       "Knock knock" 
                           Who's there? 
                        "Knock knock"
                           Who's there? 
                         "Knock knock" 
          Hello? Is anyone really there?


She stares at her reflection and asks, "Is anyone there?"
The voices inside whisper "NO"  
As if she already didn't know what this implied. 

                       "Knock knock" 
                           Who's there? 
                        "Knock knock"
                           Who's there? 
                         "Knock knock" 
                         No one's there.


Just before the trigger went boom
The girl just stared. 
Blank eyes and pale lips as she said with gloom, 
"No one's really here."

Very....very deep. Cut to the core, wow. You should perform on stage with this one. All seriousness, the intonation of your poem had me on my toes

Thank you so much. I had never thought of performing it on stage.
