The Mirror

The Mirror

A Poem by jordan burger

When you look in the mirror what do you see,
Cause all I get is a little boy looking back at me,
Who's afraid of never becoming anything,
A little boy who will never get to see his dreams,
Someone who would give up anything for a friend,
Just to see them smile at the end,
I see a little boy wanting to be a man,
All I see is me lost in all I am,
But I can't know what you see,
Cause all I can try and do is be me.

When you look in the mirror what do you see,
What do you see in the mirror when you look back and say that's me,
Do you feel ashamed, do you feel any pain,
Do you look in your eyes and try to find the reason behind your name,
Are you wishing you could take back that day,
Maybe than you'd see the sunshine in a different way,
But even through all your pain, your still there for others everyday,
But what do I know, what can I say,
When we look in the mirror nothings the same.

When you gaze in the mirror is all you see,
Is someone who can be better than the person you call me,
Do you look at all your faults and do you look at all your pain,
And wish that nobody knew your name,
Do you wish you could just hide your face,
Do you wish you could stop feeling like you're putting your life to waste,
Are you just waiting for someone to just sweep you away,
Or are you wishing someone would just ask you to stay,
But what do I know when I look in the mirror all I see is me,
I cant see or feel your pain, cause when we look in the mirror is anything the same,

But the genius thing about this game is a we decide how it's played,
We decide who we are going to be,
Nobody else gets to decide who's me,
Mirrors can lie, and they can device,
They can be broken or made to contort me,
But how can a mirror know what's inside and makes my heart beat,
My happiness is up to me, and always has been, and will always be,
So when you look in the mirror just know it's the beginning of how great you can be.
