MirroE on thE wall

Mirror, Mirror on the wall,
Do you see me at all?
I feel alone, and lost.
As if my reflection is gone.

You say this is what I am supposed to see.
But how come you don't feel the same way as me.

The things you told me
Stuck with me,
Criticizing who I am.
I thought that we were friends.
But friends aren’t like you.

They don't get mad at everything,
and always point the finger.
What have I don't that’s so bad?
Why can't I see myself as other people do?

I followed all of your advice, and changed the one i am.
I became one of you and now i understand.

You wanted me to be like you,
so you wouldn't be alone.
But now I've realized the sadness, which has grown.

I looked in to the mirror,
thinking id see me.
But really what I saw
Was what you wanted to see

Now, that I have changed.
No longer what you want me to be.
I guess this friendship over.
But that’s ok with me.

You told me lies, and stories.
Saying it was true.
But I hope I will never be a friend like you.

I wont turn someone into me.
Because I know that being me

Is being me.
No matter what you say,

I wont go back
I am free.
Don't ever ask where the old me went.
Cause she was lost.
Now she’s found,
And finally happy.

So now i look into the mirror.
It says back to me.
Welcome home, Please say your here to stay.
