I stand to the side
Afraid of what I might see
For this mirror shows no reflection
It shows the real me
I will not see the familiar face
Of the person I know as me
But more the person I am inside
The person I fear I may be
A person not familiar at all
Created by a future I can't see
Or perhaps just questions, not yet answered
Of what the future holds for me
I fear this mirror most of all
The truth and the reality
The soul reflects what I am inside
Waiting to be set free
