Shadows and Reflections


It's been so long
Pretending like you're strong
Borders pushed so far
As in the ash of a star
Once ignited with passion
Seizes to exist with struggle and caution

Impersonated a role too good
Too good not to be true
Can't tell the difference no one could
Curved lines shadow waves of blue


It's easy to fake it and smile
Faces pass by & u get used to it for a while
Keep hearing them words & mumbles
Tune them out & try not to stumble
Getting under your skin day by day
Scripted words whatever you say




Looking through your eyes
Only that mirror can tell the lies
That same face piercing into your soul
Seeking that SOS call
A reflection that screams what you whisper
Scars feelings like yesterday still blister



Kicks in behind close doors
A roller coaster of emotions keeping score
Shoved deep down yet still in the shallow
Entagled between a reflection and a shadow
Tip toeing in hesitation which one to follow



Smiles of a shadow or screams of a reflection
A performer's charade or a refugee's confession
An approval seeker or a valiant of rejection
A lonely extrovert or a tranquil outcast
Peer pressure or will power what to cast
Blackouts or memories that last


A fine line between what's a lie and what's true
What you want and what you're pushed to do
Lost between a shadow and a reflection
Misunderstood signals become a pattern of your projection
