Looking Back at You

by Chelsea   May 14, 2009


You look into the mirror and what staring back you don't know
but you look deep into its eyes and you notice they don't glow.
You realize theres brokenness behind tall built up walls
but you tell the person staring back they have to do whatever to not fall.
You see the sorrow and the hurt and you can't change a thing
but you look in to her eyes and say you are strong – keep going.
You feel like your breaking when the tears roll down their eyes
and you finally start to realize that this person is you in a disguise.
You look into your life and you don't know who you are anymore
you feel like your fighting your own vicious war.
You finally accept this person is you but you still repeat the same things
you tell yourself you can't give and you got to keep going.
People all around you tell you to take a break and let yourself go
but you say I can't and try and smile but can't – you haven't in forever ago.
Your life is spinning in a circle your reaching out for an ear
when suddenly you feel in your eyes there are tears.
In the back of your head you know you need to take a break
but you tell yourself to keep going for everyone else's sake.
You look into the mirror and what starring back you don't know
but you look deep into your eyes and realize they don't glow.
