REFLECTIONS

I’m looking at you

Looking at me

I’m not sure I like what I see

But then again, I’m not sure you like what you see either

Many may say I’m you

And you are a reflection of me

But wrong,

I can never be you

You can never be me

You’re just a picture being shown to the world

You shamelessly appear where cowards thread

You don’t mind showing yourself in mere water

I can say you are my curse

You cover everything that makes me me

I cannot accept that you have a thought

If you do, why cover mine?

Like a ghost wanting to scare

Your appearance each day deteriorate

And I hate every bit of your pushing into the grave

I can never be you, never!

You’re just a phantom

No one can really arrest you

You can pretend to fly with me in trouble

But you dissipate into thin air

Whenever your lover, darkness, springs

I wish all mirrors will shatter

And all reflective things overtaken by your lover

Then, I think I’ll be fine knowing I walk not with a coward

And a hypocrite

My heart will settle knowing  I will be who I’ll always be;

Alone.
