The Mirror

Life is so full of changes

the ups and downs, the strive

the mirror guides you through the years

like a friend without compromise.

When you’re young it reflects flawless beauty

the rosy skin, the hair aglow with shine

the lips so soft, so plump, so rosy

This one looking back looks just so divine.

The seasons come, the seasons go

a wrinkle here, some pounds in tow

You never can escape its judgment though

sometimes you’re high, sometimes you’re low.

But as time goes on, it becomes quite clear

that the one looking back will look different year by year

not only by time and by wear and by mood,

but also by what your soul brings to fruit.

There’s the outside that the mirror can only reflect

inside there’s another person which it cannot detect.

This one is much different from what you might see

Only I know your secret personality…

So… don’t look into the mirror

it only tells you lies

if you truly want to see yourself

just look into my eyes.
