What used to be me, can no longer possess what I see
as I lay juxtaposed to my life as a mirror
I desperately search for what I should be
while wishing to throw stones at my reflection
I fear I may look back,
without remorse nor affection
behind this wall that will never crack
How I long to break through this divide
leave my image in my rejection
my prayers are only for a chance to decide

All but my eyes are blind
while staring through this tainted glass
I wish to choose to live and to know
to think and to ponder of places beyond
where only my eyes may wander
to feel the flow and float upon fate
where weightless consequences may weave
but never corrupt nor confuse
where the face in the mirror can leave
and find a way to bruise
what if my choice were to choose,
possibly accept that I am just a copy
and all of your beautiful hues,
the yellow, red and the blue
fact is that when you smile at me...
I'll only smile back at you....
the mocking ever present echo,
placed here to remind me
I'm eternal inside this window
and it is you who are free to go

Welcome to Pip!

I really liked this.

Welcome. An interesting concept, seeing life from the perspective of the mirror image as opposed to the tangible breathing 3D reality.
I look forward to reading more from you.
