He looked in the mirror <br />But he didnt see himself <br />He saw a liar <br />With a craving for wealth, <br />He saw a scavenger <br />He saw no good, <br />He saw a deceiver <br />In the place where he stood. <br />He didnt like what he saw <br />But he didnt have a choice <br />When he took off his mask <br />He didnt have a voice. <br /> <br />She looked in the mirror <br />But she didnt see herself <br />What she saw was old and broken <br />Running out of health, <br />She saw a junkie <br />With track marks on her arms <br />She saw an old princess <br />With only herself to harm, <br />She didnt like what she saw <br />But she knew no other way <br />Shes been gone for so long <br />She can never get away. <br /> <br />I looked in the mirror <br />But I didnt see me <br />I saw a fallen angel <br />Whos lost his wings, <br />I saw a sinner <br />I saw the crimes <br />Believing is one thing <br />But change is on my mind, <br />I dont like what I saw <br />But there might be hope <br />Time to escape the wrath <br />And get my neck out of the rope.<br /><br />Blaine McCanless<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mirror-30/
