The Man in The Mirror!
The man in the mirror!
The man in the mirror!
When I cry, he cries
When I smile, he smiles!
He walks the way I walk
He dances the way I dance
And laughs the way I laugh
A perfect likeness.
The man in the mirror!
His lips move in speech
I hear not his words!
He shouts when he is angered
I hear not the noise!
The silence of sound
His sword.
Like a snail
He lives in a shell
The mirror on the wall
His shell to dwell
A closet so frail
He shatters it and dies as well.
To be his likeness.
