The Lying Mirror: Part II

Updated: Jan 21, 2020

Mirror mirror on the wall

How funny is it that you refuse to fall

I stare at you, I glare at you

Yet, I find great difficulties to find a drop of despair


I see no flaws elsewhere

Have you buried them thus far

How do you expect to be gloomy

If you can see right past through me?


Mirror mirror on the wall

Is this just at all!?

Her eyes should be sullen; Her spirit should be broken

Have our reinforces suddenly fallen?


What has happened?

There are smilies and laughter

It seems as though she has gladdened

It appears as though she's gone up and abandoned


Mirror mirror on the wall

You have no strength nor power to carry on

You tell a lie, you sell a lie

All the while the truth simply testifies.
