That’s the biggest problem
with something as glorified as the mirror When you look into it, it never quite captures the image you hold in your own mind Sometimes I gaze through windows That’s something you can’t do with a mirror Like a mirror stops with you But then I peel away the layers of an unfortunate reflection as I watch every last regret wither and die The mirror is bigger than logic Stands above time I peer from down below at something I’ve always hated from day one I believe that’s what it means to be an adult It means regrets remorse & indecisions There’s no adulthood without shame and disappointment Some of us grow up faster than others I suppose/ So here in the mirror there is so much misguided grandeur We the vain have sprouted fangs and wings and horns But in the mirror we release the veil I see everything I wish to forget I always imagine smashing it to pieces because the face that Isee is a stranger to me So I smile and grin all at the same time I wink and sneer because every facial expression just seems so benign I flirt and curse with the devil inside I kiss the tinted car window The shadow of myself is freeing to be seen as it leaves the scene of my own dire self-destruction If only the mirror showed me a blank slate I might be okay/
