Speaking in Tongues

by shadowed heart   Sep 13, 2009


Look at this reflection in the mirror and what do you see?
A broken girl, an ecstatic girl, or a confused girl possibly?

Do you see a blackened past or maybe a vivid future...
your needs and desires and all the high school rumors.

What is it that you see when looking at the situation in secondhand.
Scan your eyes up and down now are you on your knees or standin'?

Does it crush you to see your life right in front of you?
Will it crush you when your clueless and everyone knows the truth?

Your standing in the mirror alone, abandoned, marooned, by yourself.
No one's there to judge you. Get the rumors to set themselves straight and tell.

All the secrets you've been hiding for years and stashing deep down.
Reveal them to the outside, reveal myself to my TRUE self. Reveal this to me now.

When the light shimmers and reflects my reflection back for me to see...
will it ever dawn on me and slap me in the face that my soul is dead and I've never started living!

Or is it in that mirror the person I've always wanted to be?
and in that moment I saw the truth, my soul shot through the roof.

The truth stalling in that piece of glass is all I am and you know, thats okay, It satisfies me.
