Through The Mirror

by Jessica M Lippy   Sep 5, 2005


There once a stream where I used to play
Storms rose and faded away,
Like my tears that I had shed over you,
The birds and brook sang in harmony that was true
For a moment-just a second everything was all right,
The sunset on the hills and then came night,
And I came home to the yelling and screaming too,
I was being accused of something I didn't do
Footsteps hovering in the morning air
I tried to float out my door without a care,
To walk down the tracks,
But there was no main path,
And they twisted and intertwined,
No Path that had wear I could find
Suddenly I was lost, more than I would dare
Then I saw something that gave me a scare,
It was a portal to a whole new dimension
And having nothing left to me I stepped in,
But something happened-something bad
I was no longer happy I was no longer sad
And now I'm stuck between two worlds
I'm walking on a line,
Somewhere between the REAL world and the shelter
What's fake and what's just fine?
I am no one
Yet I was once everyone just trying to have fun,
And I guess floating through your own mind will make one cry,
That was where you came to say goodbye,
I guess when I come back someday
I'll go back to the place where I used to play,
And maybe you'll take my hand again,
And all my black and white will fade and blend.
