Reflection

Looking outside, I saw her.
Her white gown flowing in the wind…
Her pale face, looking at me
Her smile, pierced inside me..
She’s a reflection of who I want to be.
I’m not sure how to get where I want to be
Reflection, I hope you never leave.
You’re what I need..
When the sun went down
And when the sky turned dark
I looked out my window
There she was again, putting on a show.
As she danced in the light of the moon
I prayed in the depths of the shadows.
“Reflection, show me your soul” I said.
It was white as snow.
My tears began to fall down my cheek
Everything about her, was so meek.
God, help me be beautiful as her
God, give me a ticket for the next train
I’ll pray it can take me to a place
Where it’ll teach me how to be sane…
A place where I can change..
I’ve trapped my own soul in this cage
I am my own disaster
And for sure,I am killing myself
After every wrong thing I do
I hide in shame, hide in stealth.
I’m getting on the next train…
I’m getting on the next train…
To popular belief, I must say
On the contrary,
Who I am is only temporary
When I get off at the next stop
I’m not going to be like this for long
I’m bringing along
The weights that put down my wings
Push them away, and sing
When I get off at the next stop
I’m spreading my wings to be free.
Because I’m done being weighed down.
