Mirror! Mirror! Whose Image Is This?

I look in the mirror
I see my reflection
All distorted & torn

I ask, then
Mirror! Mirror! Whose image is this?
I don’t recognize
Please tell me

Hahaha! Laughing loud
The shadow came out
Looked like me
But it just wasn’t me

I ask her what she wants?
What is doing in my house?
Where did she come from?
Laughter is all I got

I can’t listen to the laughs
It’s driving me up the walls
I’m locked behind the bars
Of plainly painful insanity
That eats me alive
Every single moment of every single day

I shut my eyes with my shaking hands
As the sweat breaks on my forehead
Refusing to open scared eyes
Wishing I was blind

No more laughs
Now it’s just long sighs
I hear with the murmurs of teary soul
I hesitantly open my covered eyes
Take a shock of my life

It was me again in the magic mirror
My reflection disfigured even more
This is not what I want to see whenever
I turn to put the makeup
To cover my painful cries

The foundation to smooth my tattered skin
The powder to brush off the pain
The blush to give me back the fake color on my face
The shadow to cover my tired eyes
Eye liner on my eyes as pretence
The lipstick to smoothen harshness seen on my lips
Everyday, every morning I get up to live a lie

The mirror still tell me the ugly truth
Shows me the raggedy look
That pierces my broken heart
All the way killing my soulful spirit

This is not me, I said
Mirror! Mirror! Why do you have to lie everyday?
I don’t need your two scents
I know this is not me
It’s the shadow of the dooms
That just came to visit me
Only for very few days

Silence suddenly walked in my vanity room
Cracking the shadow’s reflection
Playing the hopeful tune
To which I bowed down to

I looked up through the ceiling
Reaching to the one in the skies
Thank you for the melodies
Thank you for giving me life
I knew I had forgotten what is was to live

Though I didn’t say enough about the truth
I have my loving family with me
My friends who care about me
All of them are hurting with me
This is more painful than my death

I hereby declare my war
Upon all the pain and sorrows that stand before me
The hurt, the deceits and the devil himself
I am back to being me

I shall now win over
Every hurdle you roll down on my path
For I know what to sow
The seeds of blooming flowers
That will bring the colors of love
Render all the smiles
And take my life to a new course
Where there will be nothing but sincere love
That is beyond your imagination

I’m my daddy’s little princess
True to the very core
For I know when to step up in life
Pick my own battles to fight and to win
For myself, my friends and my loving family
For I’m a soldier
I’m a survivor
I’m a winner, through & through
