A Walk Inside My Mind

Reflection

The two sides; they're like your two sides of a person.

You see both sides only when your reality is shifted,

causing the maddness to form a new sanity--

but sometimes you can't see them at all.

We think to ourselves, if this didn't happen, we would still be a certain way.

But that's where you're wrong; You are the same person,

but it might not be the surface side of the reflection-

your other side still says the same

You may go in Circles to find yourself but unless you actually try to be the person you are meant to be it is just pointless

We fake our smiles, we fake our emotions, we fake everything about ourselves-

We fake who we are to seem okay.

You're so caught up in your new identity you forget who you really are,

unable to breathe, smothered into this new mask and suit

You've lost your surface reflection.

As long as we continue doing this, we are going to be smothered;

Smothered until we can't move as who we are anymore

And nobody ever follows that

Because

We have been smothered for too long

We can't look into a shattered, painted over mirror, now can we?

Unless you clean it up and change how it is, you will never know

Someone out there is always reaching out for you to save you from the person you aren't,

because you are too afraid to show who you were;

how you are when nobody is around.

I wish to finally see my own reflection...

To know who I am...

I have yet to see the person I am- but yet all I do is pretend...

Can I please stop pretending?

Can you find who I really am... If I can't...
