Mirror Man

Oh person in the mirror I do admire you
A life to have while I skip from room to room
You have friends to talk with so I copy your every move
And I pretend to talk to the ones who talk back to you

If I could find a proper  way
I would get my own mind, even a brain
A mind to get lost in when you are lookng my way
I would very much enjoy thinking somday

I listen  to and repeat every word you speak
And help you give yourself peptalks every week
I wait behind the glass hidden like your personal creep
But one day I know I will be set free

So please if you hear me know I will some day be you
Not a look alike, nor a copy, not a replica or rouse
I will reach from the glass and take hold of you
And I will pull you in and take your place, careful it could be soon!
