Is That Really Me?
By No Child Is Innocent Once Born •
I look into the mirror
And what do I see
Oh my god, no way
This girl can’t be me
The smile is not real
All the eyes do is stare
You're having me on
Who is in there?
I lift my left hand
She does the same
I whisper
"What is your name?"
The girl in the mirror
Nothing like I used to be
I was at one time real
I was once a time free
I could walk the streets
Hands hanging loosely at my side
But then I found the bitch
The monster inside
I am what I am
but what I am is fake
Trying to be "her"
My one big mistake
I hide behind that "girl"
The one they all want to see
The thing now caged inside
Is the innocent real me.
