Dust

All these people who see me

They don't know who they are.

Everyone's staring in the mirror,

Watching faces fall apart.

I saw a picture looking back,

Hanging high up on a wall.

She whispers to me, with her eyes,

That I, alone, am just

A piece of a large puzzle and

She stares at me and mocks me

With a sneer and not a smile.

She watches me berating

Any fault I can recall.

I'm breaking all my mirrors

Forcing myself not to know

That when I think I see the truth

I barely know a thing at all.
