I look at myself in the mirror
So many flaws so many errors
The person staring back at me isn't even me
It's someone different,mean and ugly
I didn't know that it would be this true
The rumours that spread like a flu
My hair,messed and tangled
My face smeared with lies
My smile hides my endless cries
I just want to be who I am
I want people to see what I can do
I want people to see that I will always be true
To what I believe in and who I will be
Whether you like me or not, is least at stake
Cuz under that mask of fear
You know your life has always been fake

I May But Not
I may be coping, But not hoping. I may be smiling, But inside crying. I may be stupid, But I can be Cupid. I may repel you, But at least I'm true. I may look gleeful, But I'm also fearful.

Power Of Thought
The power of thought. Be wary you ought. The strength of the mind. Be careful you don't get left behind. The emotional wreckage. Now tied in a cute little package. The uncertainty of a future.

Mirror #2
Written for some photos I have just taken. Look in their eyes. You'll find all the lies. All the hopes and dreams. The tears run in streams. Lying to themselves all this time.
