Shattered mirrors

Action and reaction is my life

I just react to another

I don't even think

Don't even feel

×××

A smile returned

Kind words on my tongue

Without the heart behind them

They are nothing but white noise

×××

Still, I keep up the façade

For every person another mask

All I do is just reflect

The way they treat is the way they're treated

×××

I don't even realise

The sweet manipulation

Until the door closes

And I am left alone in the dark

×××

And with no other to reflect

There I am

Looking in the mirror

And a stranger looks back

My own reflection unfamiliar

As if I've never seen it before

The changes carved in my eyes

And I finally find my real smile

I'm home

×××
