The Person I Knew
I look in the mirror and nothing appears
All I see is a cloud of mist and fear
Fear and a lack of self-esteem
with a false sense of sheen
I start to think to myself why does my image not show?
And then I think to myself all the things that I know
Sometimes I take off my glasses to see
how the whole world looks at me
These spectacles sometimes offer me clear vision
but end up clouding the truth away from me
I am me, I am myself, I should be proud of what I am
and not hide from behind them
I took my glasses off and my image showed
And the person I used to know became what I knew.
