The mirror never lies
so the wisdom goes
see him looking back
eyes belong to me
But is that really all
all there is to see
light reflects my face
no inner eye to see?
No self, no truth, no light
Just my silent soul
Hidden from the world
It’s the silent hidden me
The pilots behind my eyes
Just a vehicle all I see
The mirror reflects the lie
My eyes tell him you’re me
Slowly I erase the mask
Hide a lifetimes damage
The lights come on
There’s someone in
The smile shines through
That soul released is me
With a sigh I feel rebirth
Limbs relax fingers unclench
I draw a long slow deep breath
Oh brave new world
That has such people in it
