Mirror

Mirror

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the scariest of them all?

Behold the darkness of your dreams

I speak nothing but the silence of your scream

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the bravest of them all?

Behold the walls around your heart

I speak nothing but the lines that are scarred

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the sweetest of them all?

Behold the bitterness within your soul

I speak nothing but the evil you stole

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the faithful of them all?

Behold the trust you broke

I speak nothing but the heart you choked

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the happiest of them all?

Behold the smile that hides the pain

I speak nothing but the thoughts that are chained

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the beautiful of them all?

Behold the scars that mar the lines

I speak nothing but the eyes that look at you and shine

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the normal of them all?

Behold the stern stance of the usual

I speak nothing but the hidden strength of the unusual

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the loneliest of them all?

Behold the crowd around you

I speak nothing but the emptiness that is true

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the guiltiest of them all?

Behold the crimes that you hide

I speak nothing but the eyes that leave you terrified

 

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

Who is the fairest of them all?

Behold the skin that is dark

I speak nothing but the fairness within the bark
