What Lurks in the Mirror

Mirror…mirror…on the wall,

oh how I wish you weren’t there at all.

You look at me when you’re in my room,

what you must think, I can only assume.

I took you down, but you reappeared,

in my dreams, just like I feared.

I can’t hide from you, you’re always there,

I yell at you, oh how I swear.

Please go away, I beg you to cease,

I can’t take the staring, please leave me in peace.

I covered you up to lock the gate,

that secures the entrance to my restful state.

‘Cause what lurks behind that shiny reflection,

must stay locked away without introspection.



Wishing you mirror-free moments,

BFF 114 Mirror Mirror

Mirror, oh mirror, whom do you see?
Surely not this person looking back at thee.

The sadness in her eyes, the gray in her hair,
made her look tired and left her soul bare.

Mirror, oh mirror, whom do you see?
Surely not this person looking back at thee.

With achy bones and a weary heart,
all she ever wanted was just a fresh start.

Mirror, oh mirror, whom do you see?
Surely not this person looking back at thee.

A free-spirited girl long left behind,
now stands a woman trying to bear in mind.

Mirror, on mirror, whom do you see?
Surely not this person looking back at thee.

That with every line on her face and pound that she gained,
She learned to be happy and never be restrained.
