They say never look yourself in the mirror, when you are in a dream
They say if you do, you’ll scream
But how can we tell which is reality and which is not?
We try to look for clues or ways for us to tell
But we can’t even tell apart a feeling and a thought
Or what wars we might have fought
Or what we might have learned or taught
We don’t see ourselves the way others see us
Many times, our minds have fooled us
Our subconsciousness overruled us
Hiding truths and misleading us
And constant gnarly lies feeding us
Are we foes?
Are we ever going to understand how it is and how it goes?
There are so many questions but only God truly knows
We stand starring at mirrors
So many of them, all sizes and shapes
Fixing hair tucking in clothes
Looking at wrinkles, pimples, scares and scrapes
But none of them can show us the insides!
If only we can see what is within so clearly
If only we could truly understand what its really like in our minds
And invest our time in fixing what we can
Mirror makers… doesn’t it sound like a plan?
