Walking down a hallway For which there is no wall Yet I am guided straight and true Kept back so I don't fall
Shattered mirrors line this place Fragments toying with my sight Through the cracks and gaping holes Pours in streams of light
It's a magical, dazzling world Permeated with understanding In a thousand shards of glass My own reflection is standing
No painting over the spiderwebbing The cracks distort my face Beyond all normal recognition Just what is this place?
Unable to hide from sparkling splinters I barely recognise myself This long forgotten neglected side Crept up on me with stealth
The foundation on my face is gone The mascara can't hide my eyes But I have found an inner beauty That had me surprised
It seems sometimes that it hurts us To hide from our true reflection You don't need to mould yourself To fit supposed perfection
You are who you are, don't forget As yourself you should always stay Don't bury yourself under pressure To be a certain way
Look at the mirror, the imperfect shards Teaching you how to smile That genuinely happy grin That hadn't been seen in a while
This land of the introspective Let's you see to what you hold Just remember that being yourself Is worth more than fame and gold
Keep on walking down the hall Wearing your heart on your sleeve Then go out into the bright new world All you have to do is believe.
