Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who am I suppose to
see before me?
Am I woman?
Am I man?
Am I me?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
I care not to know who the
fairest one of them all is;
I seek but the truth of
the image displayed
and reflected before me.
I seek but the truth of
what I feel inside of me.

Down, down, down
fall the shattered pieces
of a misconstrued reality.

Down, down, down
I sink to the ground and
feel the heady earth in
my deformed hands --
it feels more real ...
more alive than I.

Down, down, down
come the walls of my
simulated fortress.

The closet's bare now,
left with nothing but the
ringing of empty hangers;
the foundation's wiped away,
there's nothing left but skin.

Am I me?
Am I man?
Am I woman?
Can you tell me who
am I going to see reflected,
mirror, mirror on the wall?

make me forget
how to breathe

leave me with the
taste of your sin
they will lie about you, insult you, hurt you,
betray you, injure  you, set you aflame and
watch you burn. but they will not, shall not,
c a n n o t, destroy  you. because  you, like
R o m e, were built  on ashes, and you, like
a phoenix, know how to rise and resurrect.
