Me and My Reflection

As i look in the mirror
It's not me that i see
Its just an illusion
Staring back at me

My eyes are deceiving me
My mind playing games
I am not this person
That this reflection claims

You look so happy
and i feel so sad
You seem so peaceful
and i feel i am going mad

I do not see my true image
I do not see the truth
I only see what my mind tells me to see
my existence has no proof

Sometimes i can't look in the mirror
In fear of what i will see
My mind has taken control of me
and my reflection is set free

Who are you? i asked
What's your purpose here?
Why don't you feel my pain
Why is your conscience clear

Tonight i will turn off the light
and lay my head to sleep
escape my reflection for one more night
I lay there counting sheep

For these are the final hours
tomorrow the sun will shine
I will no longer be afraid
For this time, the reflection is mine.

Please comment, thanks xx
