Facing The Wrong Direction

The reflection on the mirror is not who you are,
It shows a lost and yet to be found you,
Diverted by the influence of others,
Pressure to please their unsatisfied desires,
Wearing one their many masks to fit in,
Dying inside and yet you are always smiling,
Give and get what you want but not what you need,
Blinded by the short term pleasures,

Craving for the time you were not the reflection,
The time you had the one you lost who cared,
The one to whom you meant everything,
Time when your heart was truly happy,
With warmth to keep everything else invisible,
When you had the one to truly rely on,
Now you have so many around but none is real,
Still you have a chance to change the reflection,
But that will not last for long,
Be in charge of your real you.
