Actualization

The mirror is a master of great deception, altering our light and sence of direction, It is here, I am faced with actualization and of the sheer true meaning of point of perception

I can show my prettiest face, a flesh so delicate and thin, no one realizes their smiling, at the bruises beneath my skin, no one sees the pain done by those I let win, and it seems I cant forget where I've come from... where I've been

Look deep within my soul, anouther story there is told, one of pain multiplied by more three fold, yet I still smile into the mirror, chin high, face bold

I still see, my patients, tried, the fear I'd hide, The way people made me feel inside, it's become to what I know is life, to be seen yet unheard, to be shadowed in light,

My heart beats unknown rhythms to an unknown rhyme of hurt and lies, fears and fights, fails and tries,

Im tired of eyes awake to skies of unknown limits and a failed compromise to a god unseen yet felt inside by enough strength I conjured from far and wide

Look deep within my soul, anouther story there is told one of pain multiplied by more than three fold, it is here life takes by the heart and the throat and there is never a hand extended for anyone to hold
