Dear me,
What image will you portray?
Perhaps a beautiful smile and bright colors in array,
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who’s the happiest of them all?
Me, the only one in the room who stands tall,
The one that stands tall above them all,
Me, the beautiful being created from above,
beautiful in every which way thereof,
The one who acts thru peace an emblem of a dove,
The helping hand, happy to give my heart throughout the day,
A superior God I’ll portray today,
Dear myself,
What image will you portray?
Perhaps the stone face and productive mind,
Pacing through life without trace of time,
Self-centered, work and stress intertwined,
Living through a crack in the wall left to remind,
Myself there is very little sun that shines,
But enough to get through the day,
The human workload I’ll portray today,
Dear I,
What image will you portray?
A lonely image with no peace inside,
Wearing scars to portray the pain that resides,
In my mind, where the pain can’t subside,
Mirror mirror on the wall, what was it that you saw?
The horrors of hell, that drops my jaw,
The cruelty beyond the outside of my walls,
Hallucinations through nightmares and awe,
The human emotion of sorrow is what I’ll portray,
Humanity crumbling before me is today,
Dear me, myself and I,
What image will you portray today?
Confused, don’t know how to get thru the day,
Feelings of happiness, productivity and sadness I feel today,
Mirror, mirror on the wall what is it you seek?
To find my true feelings that hides beneath,
To take a look at my life covered by a smile and a frown underneath,
Confused, I can’t take the pressure,
Desperate, I call for the most intense measure,
Split personality, the painstaking endeavor.
