House Of Mirrors

 

Step right up,

         Step right in

To the one place

That will confirm;

                  and deny your illusions.

Choose your poison…

They all have no purpose

Except to the human psyche�"

 

You can become short and wide

Or tall an thin, no matter which one

You decide to alter your body

You’ll never be satisfied.

 

Every mirror in this house

Has an unique way

         Of reflecting your image;

Everyone a novelty that will wear off

         (In the blink of an eye)

Like face paint after Halloween;

         A birthday party;

or football game…

 

You can look wavy like the ocean;

Pretending to feel as free

 Or stretched out being fun

         Like playdoh in a child’s hands;

 

But it won’t change the shape

Of your heart and mind�"

Or the thoughts and emotions

         That mold them…

                  Help them metaphorically grow.

 

Eventually you’ll need to go home

And face the real you;

Or truth be told

         The you that you want to be,

                  To see,

                           To believe in.

Just remembering-

Your image reflected doesn’t reflect your soul.

[Corset]

wonderful message and wonderfully written and packs a whole lot of truth and lets us have it with both barrels:

Eventually you’ll need to go home

And face the real you;

Or truth be told

The you that you want to be,

To see,

To believe in.

Just remembering-

Your image reflected doesn’t reflect your soul."

beautiful.

how we look physically will never reflect what our mind and heart feel, or what is in our soul.

well said, Dale.
