Mirrors

I'm looking at myself
Looking at myself
Looking at
Myself
Through the
Looking glass
Looking
Through the mirror
I see myself
Seeing
Staring at myself
Through my eyes
My eyes
Looking at my eyes
Whoa
I locked myself away
Far away, locked away
Isolated
Alone
Solitary
Hid from them
Hid from
They who seek to hurt me
Out to get me
They're gone
They can't get in
Finally
My troubles are on
The other side
Of this locked door
My problems build up
On the other side
Of this wall
They can't get me
I'm safe
Locked away
Alone
Here
Hiding
But eventually
I have to face them
Stare them in the eye
Problems
Troubles
People
Once I've hid from
Everything else
Everybody else
I realize that
I can't hide from myself
