Reflection

post #338

This year would be 10 years. One question I constantly asked myself, have I been a better person since?

How can I tell for sure?
Looking at my reflection....same old face, just getting older, forged by time and life events. Weariness, bitterness, happiness, serenity, wisdom, knowledge....they all carved these soft lines which in time, give or take 15 more years, will become clearly visible as wrinkles.

How about you?
What / Who do you see when you look in the mirror?
Is that someone that you know for sure?
Is that who you really are inside out?
Will your reflection show who you are inside, or will it show a mask you wear to face this world?


Christina Aguilera - Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart,

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside

I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
Whats inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know

Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time

When will my reflection show who I am inside

When will my reflection show
Who i am inside (oooohhhh)
