Looking mirror

Reflection is all I have 

When we peer into the mirror we see our fears

When we peer into the mirror we see our hopes

When we peer into the mirror we see our tears

The eyes tell us everything we need to know

The eyes show us an image of faint glow

To see the brightness of the light

To always shine and keep our sight

Hard at work we sweat out our lives

Grinding out the days when we shall leave this land of green

Listening to the sounds made

Calls that were called that we could not screen

Remembering when we were young at heart

Wishing that we had a better time

Wishing we had a fresh start

Stacking the pictures into our cart

A mental state is kept in art

Crazy we became the bitter tart

If we stop to take a breath

Our dreams may come apart

Unfolding the sheets to gaze upon our looking mirror
