you vs. yourself
When you look into the mirror what do you see?
A determined individual, smart and sure
Or just a spitting image of yourself, mocking everything you do
When you look into the mirror what do you hear?
A voice of an innocent sin, just looking on the outside in
Or just the sound of trouble, holding you back from the life you live
When you look into the mirror what do you smell?
The elegance of a flower garden, blooming to perfection
Or the scent of a trash truck, collecting your old waste
When you look into the mirror what do you taste?
The fresh sweet drip of the honey from a bee
Or the terrible taste of asparagus from you childhood you never ate
When you look into the mirror how do you feel?
Do you feel like royalty, high and mighty, above all the others, like the throne is yours?
Or do you feel beaten down by the inner side of you, defeated and paralyzed, or a victim of your own crime?
