Here you are again, staring in this mirror. It lies to you. You shake with fear and worry and regret like somethings going to happen a consequence of the actions you did not take yet. Here you are again, staring at your feet. They lie to you. Throbbing with blisters and pain They lead you down the street through the rain but what you really want to do is set yourself on fire and jump off of that bridge Here you are again, looking into his eyes. They lie to you. Uncertain enraged and self centered. They stare you down and **** the life out of you like a leech You surrender Living out this life as a pretender Give it up.

Lies
Here you are again, staring in this mirror. It lies to you. You shake with fear and worry and regret like somethings going to happen a consequence of the actions you did not take yet. Here you are again, staring at your feet. They lie to you. Throbbing with blisters and pain They lead you down the street through the rain but what you really want to do is set yourself on fire and jump off of that bridge Here you are again, looking into his eyes. They lie to you. Uncertain enraged and self centered. They stare you down and **** the life out of you like a leech You surrender Living out this life as a pretender Give it up.
Everyone has felt this way at least once, staring into the mirror and feeling as if the reflection looking back at you is a lie. That is what inspired me to write this.
