Two mirrors faced each other
With a sound they reflected the other
When I meet someone who looks just like me
I think I’ll make that sound

Both children and adults
Like seeing themselves in the mirror
Entranced by one’s own reflection
If you forget that it’s a mirror
The silent space will overwhelm you
And you’ll remember the emptiness

I am a mirror
I will not stretch out my hand to those who are stuck
In the places where the light never shines
Instead I’ll try to stay with them
Then we’ll see the same view

I know that if you can empathize with someone’s pain
Then the pain can turn into something good
the sadness doesn’t go away nor does the world change
But seeing the world within me turned upside down
Was most certainly a new sight

Everyone is looking for someone who looks like them
No matter how much you hate yourself
You can love someone who looks like you
There is no love in admiration or adoration

However
The thing people will love the most in their life
Is the person who resembles them most in the world
Their child

I am a child
I believe I am on the right path
So anything I cast aside or abandoned on the way
I don’t think of as sacrifices

The sky closes its eyes
