Looking Glass
Looking into a mirror I see a reflection
It is somehow familiar Yet a distorted perception
It stares back at me A haunted expression
Piercing my soul Exposing suppressions
It reaches out to me Seeking confessions
Bottled up emotions Demanding liberation
I close my eyes Ignoring their supplications
But the reflection is staring back In silent observation
My soul is in turmoil From forgotten desolation
Denial is no longer My blessed protection
Shadows flee my mind Replaced with blinding illumination
I can no longer bury The painful recollections
What was once shame Is now bitter salvation
What once condemned me Is now my redemption
