The Mirror

[Jennieglenn]

They come to me everyday

And they always have something to say

Never to me,

But said it must be

Things said during a certain endeavor

Things that I shall repeat never

The thing people try to see

From deep inside me

They try to figure the meaning of life

Staring into me, they try to get away from the trial and strife

Things happen so fast

No time for a spell to be cast

What’s done is done

You’ve wasted your time

Standing here asking me for answers, your hair goes from flowing to a bun

All of this is such a crime

I’ve seen smiles

On a lot of cheeks, I see some tears

I’ve seen trials

And witnessed the pain that sears

What’s done is done

I’ve seen the father and the mother

The daughter and the son

To each other, they are such a bother

Though all I can do is sit here and look

I am nearer

To them u am clearer

Although I may have shook

I’ve seen the dark and I’ve seen the light

I’ve seen them cry

And want to die

But I know deep inside that everything will eventually be all right.
