The Real You

I know I'm smiling, but don't take it as for what it seems

'Cause the only time I'm happy is when I'm in my dreams

Lately my life is being lonely, and cast out in the shadows

Full of tears, frowns, and many lost battles

Down in a black hole trying to escape depression

But you can't run away from what will always be your reflection

And as you begin to run away reality is getting nearer

And instead of changing you, you try to change the mirror

But what do you do when the mirror falls down?

Breaking apart as it hits the ground

And now you have nothing to hide behind

And now you need the courage you have yet to find

Because fear and sorrow are emotions that play tricks on your mind

Trying to prevent you from making life and dreams intertwine

But instead of giving in you try to break out

Building back up happiness that fear and sorrow take out

Because the obstacles you have aren't important

Yet, it's about how you handle it

Fear can only be as bad as you imagine it

Sorrow comes with tears just as grey clouds come with rain

Then it will pass quicker than it came

Just be proud you didn't cut yourself with the mirrors glass

And just know the worst has already passed

But if you look in the mirror again, look with open eyes

So if you don't like the out, you can take a look inside
