(an older one) I used to know who I was The little nerd, and proud of it Thought I was a robot Thought I could control the air Thought a lot of things Thoughts were interrupted Disaster struck and everywhere, people were forced away with nothing to do but take a good look at themselves and ask themselves who they were I didn’t change much I knew who I was I was the same as ever Until you. I told you who I was You told me who you were And something changed Something was interrupted I wanted to be you Because I thought you were better than me And I became you Or, more accurately The you you needed And you never fell in love with me You fell in love with yourself You fell in love with a mirror That reflected everything you were And only showed you what you wanted to see And the mirror didn’t just reflect you It reflected everyone it talked to It became a mass of personalities Not a one of them original Until the mirror broke Personalities slipped out And the glass couldn’t be repaired So it was discarded And from behind the mirror I emerged Not you But me When I came back I was different I was no longer you But you still thought I was You could never accept my changes You could never see beyond yourself But I could I broke the mirror So that I could keep myself from becoming you You found a new mirror It reflects you as you see yourself Powerful, funny, liked I know that this mirror will lose itself as well I know who I was I still remember being trapped in the mirror But I also know who I am now I am not anyone But me
