No Escaping Your Reflection

I can be cool,
I can be free,
I can be alone,
I can be seen.

I can show pain,
I can show fear,
I can show love,
I can show it clear.

I long to be heard,
For people to listen to the truth,
To understand all that I,
As a child go through.

Mistaken identities,
People not meant to be,
People afraid to show who they are,
Except to me.

Alone in world,
Where no-one can see,
All of the things,
I wish I could be.
Windows are broken,
So are lives and dreams,
You are broken,
Like your mirror sees.

How is it that,
The one thing that knows you best,
Is the one thing,
That everyone sees?
