MIRROR, MIRROR Mirror, mirror On the wall In the pool On the sidewalk In the person In front of me. I see things I would rather not see. I see things I have not seen for years. I see things for my eyes only. Mirror, mirror You show so much Of the person I want to be, Of the person I could be, Of the person I should be. One man’s mirror Is another man’s reality. And another man’s reality Is some man’s fantasy.
