Looking in A Mirror
Looking in a mirror…
 I am two people
 The person people see and the person I see
 A true identity is what I long for
 So quiet that I’m almost invisible
 I’m trapped in a shell
 Hidden behind a wall
 Sometimes I’m grateful to be able to pull a disappearance act
 Then other times it feels like I’m choking
 I want to shout
 Just to make people see me every now and then
 However, I can’t complain
 I have a better life than most people
 But then again not everyone knows me
 They only think they do
 They would see it if they were looking at me through a mirror
 As I grow things have changed
 The mirror is becoming cracked
 I want to shatter it on the floor 
 Slowly the real me is showing
 It fades in the mirror
 But now that I’m revealing the real me
 There are new challenges that I’m not ready to face
 Should I go back to just seeing myself in a mirror?
 Fading from reality…
 Or do I give it all I got and face my fear?
 A difficult decision…
 Looking in a mirror or looking at reality?
