Reflection

Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you ll never know me

Every day

It s as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside

I am now

In a world where I

Have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What s inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

Why is my reflection

Someone I don t know

Must I pretend that I m

Someone else

For all time

There s a heart

that must be free to fly

That burns with a need to know

the reason why

Why must we all conceal

What we think

How we feel

Must there be a secret me

I m forced to hide

I won t pretend that I m
