Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Why am I afraid to fall?

Mirror, mirror in my dream,

How come you don’t look like me?

Hundred versions of myself,

Each and every one needs help.

I’m scared of what tomorrow brings.

I know I can’t do everything.

I don’t want to waste my time,

Winter worries to lost sunshine.

Mirror, mirror, go away.

Don’t ruin me, don’t waste the day.

Mirrored wall breaking down,

I think at last I hit the ground.
