Reflection
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

Can you see the reflection?
The pain within my eyes?
Why can't you see the sorrow
In this smile that always lies?
Oh, I walk around with a happy face;
Who truly knows what to ask?
Who truly knows my feelings?
Yes, this smile is my mask.
You walk with him, hand-in-hand.
Are you mocking my loneliness?
I stare at you, and my thoughts evaporate
Into utter nothingness.
What does my face reflect?
Does my smile tell the truth?
Why can't you see through my mask?
Does anyone see you?
Oh, I walk around with a happy face,
But do you ever stop to ask,
"Why is there pain within your eyes?
"Is that smile simply a mask?"
Yes, it's my facade.
I hide the imperfections.
Only through a mirror
Will you see my true reflection.
