Not to the person in the mirror
The shining image of you
Of you
Of your perfect self
Of what you wish to be but you can't
You Can't
Can't reach no matter how hard you try
It's always too far
Too far
Too hard
Too hard to take a step closer
Closer to the mirror image of you
Of you
Of your perfect self
Of your try again, your lie again
Your hope to die again
Now you cry again
Cry again
Cry again for the society pressures you
To take a step in a direction that isn't nature
Isn't nature
Isn't natural for a kind hearted soul
A kind hearted soul
A kind hearted soul on an environment
Not suited for them
Not suited for them
But they were placed here
You were placed here
Placed here
Because they thought you'd fit
You'd fit
Fit the decoration, the table
An ornament for viewing
You're dueling
Two people in a battle to the death
To the death
And the winner is the greater part
The greater part
Of a greater plan doomed to fail
Doomed to fail
Doomed for failure because regardless of
Your size, age or gender
Society doesn't care.
Society doesn't care for the person on right side of the mirror
The person that's the reflection of reflection
The person who is you
The true you
The perfect you.
