A Broken Image

The mirror shatters
The reflection was wrong
Picking up a shard of mirror
I look at my reflection
And finally believe it
A broken image
A falling tear
A shattered mirror
A shattered fear
Afraid of what I am
Afraid of what I’m not
The reflection wasn’t me
It wasn’t who I am
It was someone I didn’t want to see
It was the only one they’ll accept
Though it wasn’t the true me
A broken image
A falling tear
The wrong reflection
My biggest fear
To be who they want
Not what I am
And I have fallen under the spell
A broken image
A falling tear
That wasn’t the real me
That was my biggest fear
