MIRROR

 
Who is this stranger
 here that I see
standing inside the glass
looking back at me
 
this is not my reflection
it’s not me that I’m seeing here at all
 I think I need to change the mirror
That is hanging on the wall

what happens to my face
where have the lines appear from
are my eyes playing tricks on me?
but I don’t smoke or drink rum
 
so, I can’t be intoxicated
or for that matter high on something
it's why this reflection in the mirror
is really so puzzling
 
Wasn’t I a happy man yesterday
Why do I look so sad today?
I even clean the glass with Windex
But still, this stranger didn’t go away

So, it has to be the mirror is not working right
And all the mirrors are defective
Because I still seeing the same sad person
After I inspect them all like a detective
 
Somewhere along the line
I seem to have lost my way
And I didn’t notice it before
Until I look in the mirror today

but still, I don’t believe it
that I am the person that I see
But then I don’t know why will this mirror
Would want to lie to me

It’s just a piece of glass
That I could smash to the ground
But what if this mirror is right
And I am the one who is so wrong

Guess I better start believing
That this lonely reflection is me
And I am just going to have to accept,
That this is the image of me that people see

But still, to be sure, I will get rid of this mirror
And just throw it in a garbage truck
Because they say “if you break a glass “
Then you will have seven years of bad luck

I don’t know if it’s a true saying
But still, I won’t take any chance
Because I don’t need bad luck hanging over my head
The next time I decided to try romance

So I am going to the Staten island mall this evening
And I am going to buy a couple more
And if I still see the same sad person
Then I will know that my mirror was right before
