Reflections

Who is that in the mirror there?
That face, that smile, that gleam
This person is happy, joyful, content
Or is it an illusion?

Who is that in the mirror that?
Is it who it seems
Or is the understanding in the eyes
Hiding total confusion?

Who is that in the mirror there?
I don't recognize the face
This face doesn't reflect the true feelings
Hidden deep inside

Who is that in the mirror there?
I can say it isn't I
I don't feel how this face appears
Serene, peaceful, even happy

Who is that in the mirror there?
An actor, a fraud, a clown
This imposter isn't real
Or is it my soul that is wrong?

Who is that in the mirror there?
From the looks of it, it's me
But should you see into my soul
You would realize, there has been a mistake

Who is that in the mirror there?
Don't be fooled by the trickery
Because reflections don't preserve the soul
And appearances mean nothing.
