May 2014
Your good deeds are clearly seen
For you put them on our screens
By all means cause a scene
Your image is clean
Yet you're in between your mirror and your facade
The person in the mirror is a fraud

You've clawed your way up the ladder
Fooling everyone with your laughter
I beg of you shatter this sadder facade
Before it morphs your own reflection
Avoid perfection
Show me some affection

This person in the mirror is a reflection
Of your mask of deception  
Adjust your skin
It's become your twin  
It has caused wars
Not outdoors but inside the walls of your mind
You're so blind
Can you even find the person in the mirror

The explosions have shattered the mirror
Your soul is battered
Please remove the mask from you face
So you can find your place
Erase the disgrace you've become
The daily injection of lies has made you numb
Yet your reflection does not look glum
The mask so softly embedded in your face
I can't find a trace of the person in the mirror

The mirror is now a shadow of who you used to be
You ignored my plea
No longer free, an absentee from your life
What a strife

Endeavour to stay true to life
And you won't have to pay the ultimate price
And the person in the mirror won't be covered in ice
So heed my advice
