The whole of me is a broken principal of
life
The life in me is a restless soul,
The tears from my eyes are water-like
clear,
Yet the colour of the tears from my
heart is red
The lies in the mirror hide away the
truth,
Causes my pain to play hide and seek,
My face shines like rays of light of a
golden red sun,
Chasing away the cold and bitter nights
When I stare in the mirror I see a
reflection of my image,
My own picture plays tricks on my
thoughts,
It tells more about my outward garland,
Yet my own presence is poisoning me,
Killing softly, the fraction of my true-
self
The lies in the mirror hide away the
reality,
All the drama that brought about scars
to my heart,
I look beautiful in a size seven,
But take a walk in my shoes,
And realise I'm size sixes and sevens,
Living in a minus heaven
The whole of me is a broken kingdom,
A suncity with dark empty streets,
A black night, yet a piece of my
shattered heart,
I smile, dance, sing, pose and feel like
everything,
Yet I'm nothing but lies in the mirror
