I'm a Mirror

You think that I'm supposed to be sweet, Even when your anger's all I meet. That I should smile at your disdain, Excuse your cruelty, swallow the pain. That's not how it works with me — Come with cold, and cold you'll see. I'm a mirror, in me you'll find Only what you carry in your mind. That's why I make so many people mad, I show their truth, the good, the bad. If you see irritation staring back, It's your own irritation, that's a fact. Come with warmth, with tenderness, no lies, I'll give you the same, no disguise. Don't fake it, don't play your little game, Or you'll see that same game, mirrored back the same. I'm a mirror, in me you'll find Only what you carry in your mind. That's why I make so many people mad, I show their truth, the good, the bad. Don't think I'm just cold glass, empty and still — I'm a woman, I have my own will. I want to be loved just because, no reason why, There's a fire inside me, wild and alive. You'll see it, if you dare to step through, Into the looking glass, into the truth. I'm a mirror, in me you'll find Only what you carry in your mind. Bring me warmth, bring love and light, You'll get it back, shining bright.
