Reflection

Source
At this moment, I sit all alone
There she is staring at me, the perfect clone
The question in her eyes, why?
Why do you like the things that make you cry?
Why are you drawn to the toxic traits?
Why can't you let them go, let them be abate?
Why do you hide and pretend like everything is fine?
Why can't you say no, why can't you decline?
Why are you so scared to speak your mind?
Why stay and let them break you with their constant remind?

Why push happiness so far away?
When it's right there, begging you saying please let me stay.
Do you ever think, this toxicity, all of these people?
They will take everything you've got and leave you crippled?
Perhaps if you choose you for once
You would make a little progress, maybe even advance

She pauses and stares
Don't do it, don't let yourself care
She closes her eyes, as the tears streams down
And she wonders, how long before you drown?
Everyday is a different war fought
But in the end you are always in thesame spot
You wish everyday upon an invisible well
To right the mistakes that ring in your head like a nagging bell

Here you're now, angry, sad, tired as you sit
But really, tell me the truth, what will you do about it?
Thousands of words waiting to be spoken
Open up, say them now before you're left broken
Wipe your tears my pretty little girl, her eyes says now
Make a change so next time I look at you, I can smile and say wow
