look into the mirror

Look into the mirror Only to find A girl staring back at me With eyes that I wish were not mine It’s incomprehensible The things that she sees With a distorted perception Like you’d never believe All too many tricks these eyes play on me There I go again Watch as I get sucked in Thoughts race through my mind Without sight of an end I’m told that I live in a world of pretend But these emotions are wounds Logic will never mend Yet I am only a kid I’m advised to give it time Someday the pride that I lost Will no longer be so damn hard to find However as of now I don’t live in this optimal tomorrow For I breath in the air of present day As I get lost Inside the reflection I have grown to hate Times like these lead me to wonder Would my perception of myself be clearer If only I could never again Look into the mirror
