Reflections

Whispers in the shadows, flickering light,

I stare at the mirror, and it’s haunting tonight.

Tell me, dear glass, what do you see?

Is it really me, or just who I should be?

Fragments of a figure, wearing a mask,

Fabricated beauty, hidden behind the glass.

Shattered smiles echo, a laugh out of tune,

Why’s the truth a ghost in this dim-lit room?

Oh mirror, mirror, show me the way,

Reflect the soul, not just yesterday.

Can you capture the fire, the tears, and the fight?

Or are you just trapped in an endless night?

Reflections of a heart trying to break free,

Can’t you see past the layers, the muted plea?

Look beyond the surface, unveil the scars,

Where the real me lingers, hidden in the stars.

These broken shards whisper secrets of pain,

Each crack a story, each piece a refrain.

Why do you show what brought me down low?

Can’t you reflect the light, let my true self glow?

Oh mirror, mirror, can you feel my heart?

The echoes of moments that tore me apart.

Bring forth my shadows, illuminate the night,

In the depth of my soul, let me find the light.

Reflections of a heart trying to break free,

Can’t you see past the layers, the muted plea?

Look beyond the surface, unveil the scars,

Where the real me lingers, hidden in the stars.

Trapped behind these eyes, where dreams fade and fall,

I’m reaching for the truth, can you hear me call?

Am I just an echo, a shadow in time?

Or can you reflect the vibrant rhyme?

So here I stand, a bittersweet gaze,

Between the reflections and the haunting haze.

Dear mirror, I plead, let my spirit be seen,

For in the depths of my soul lies a heart full of dreams.
