Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Who Wears A Mask? ... Oh ...But You All!I look into the mirror
Though I don't look backIt's just an empty vessel
Staring through the crackI put on my mask
To hide from the world and shield my fearsAnd I break a bit more
It Brings to tearsIt's like every kids watching
Every move that I makeEvery breath I breathe,
And every step that I takeWaiting for me to falter
Just to make a mistakeSo their jokes can persecute me
Burning me at the stakeThey don't say a word at least to my face
For from within the shadows their words and stares can be tracedMy friends have all became
A thing of the past
Why ever spend the time to make themWhen I know that they won't last
And as if that all just ain't enough
My parents are stern and they don't ever sloughI know that they Love me
Their just trying to be caringBut the methods they use
Are a bit Rough and OverbearingSo why do I still try?
Tell me why do I care?
Because when I look in the mirrorI'm not even there
I have none of me to give
I have nothing to shareIt's A Sad, Lonely Life
That's I've Come to BearSo I ask God why?
What Makes Any of This fair?
Why must I be the oneAlways caught in the snare
Emotionally capsized
I've been sunken to the abyss
Thats when I picked up a razorAnd I cut my wrist
Into my flesh
It began to boreUntil my parents came
And They burst through the doorOn their knees crying
They both fall to the floorThey want A reason,
They ask why, and what for?I was appalled that they
Would Ask Why Unto MeBecause you'd have to blind
Just not to seeThat Everyone's target
Has always been me
