I look in

And see a face

Suppressing its

Inner grace

Telling the world

That's not me

Is like telling

Someone I'd 

Rather be free

Free from this 'guise 

That keeps the real me

Trapped inside

Knowing the truth

And telling the lies

That is my disguise

This mirror that

Knows me

And tells me

To hide

Will always be

My enemy

Separating me

From the outside

These pretty little lies

And this mirror

That held back 

My truer side
