In my mirror I see a clown, Juggling his fate upon the hope of entertaining his captivated audience. Performing circus tricks with a painted smile across his animated visage.
In my mirror I see a soldier, Dauntless and Dedicated To dutifully serving his school. The soldier never tires, Never slacks, Never rests, Never stops - until his duties are done.
In my mirror I see an explorer, seeking adventure and freedom from the concrete jungle, whose cement vines bind round the sinews of his heart until he trapped Trying to break away from: Oppression, and the Syntheticity of suburbia.
In my mirror I see a ghost. Dead to the world, yet still cursed to wander its lonely alleys, In search of liberation from social purgatory.
In my mirror I see a learner, Clean-shaven and well brushed. His face well scrubbed though the tell-tale pimple betrays him to adolescence. The student has no substance... What you see is what you get, And what you get is well - Whatever you want.
In my mirror, late at night, When all have drifted off to sleep, I see a boy, who finally takes off his many masks, And reveals his true identity to the trustworthy mirror (whom he has known long enough to keep his secrets) He is no longer: The clown, Or soldier, Or explorer, Or ghost or learner, He is me.
