Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall
You’ve cracked and shattered at times but you are the fairest of them all
You see me for who I am
No false opinions to deliver no characteristic assignation or shams
You tell me things others cannot see
When my Creole creed befalls me
When I can longer please the world
Or soar as a Red Cardinal Bird
The times when I cannot be my best
Yet, trying to give away the golden egg after we’ve just met
Live and let for a thrill to get wet
Placing my faith back on the road
Where the price to sell my soul, outweighs the taste of the skin’s gold

Mirror mirror on the wall
Thank the heavens above, I haven’t taken any nasty falls
No smoke and mirrors, it’s all my call
The healer in me as I restore the ill
The sins of my flesh I have loaned, yet, I’ve paid my earthly bill
You center my existence when no one is around
The only person witnessing my faux pas does not make a sound
My naked reflection when society has tested the strength of my salacious and curvature vanity
Giving one percent of myself to heal the indigent of humanity

Mirror mirror on the wall
I have taken the lumps and bumps within life, blessed to remain standing tall
Love, living, and laughter, the trinity of anyone’s inner Chi their divine temple
Live by those ideologies Karma’s deliverance becomes so simple
People of all walks of life I mindful admire
You catch my brown eyes as an interest, I will give you your heart’s desire
As we’re basking in the heat of your flaming fire
The essence of the soul we wear on the heart of our sleeve
In life there is no make believe
This is reality, what we put out in the universe returns to us, rather we kneel, stand, or rising from a fall
Mirror mirror on the wall
