Amias Davies - Mirrors (Poem) lyrics

A reflection of what we hope for, One that feels like a door, A feeling that we must roar, A future that will never be in store. A reflection of our upcoming, One that keeps running, A past that keeps mumbling, A wish that keeps struggling. A reflection of what went wrong, Feelings that weren't strong, A bridge that was too long, No one came to the dong. A reflection of our sadness, When we're filled with madness, A substitute for failing gladness, All lit but it's all blackness. A reflection that we adulate, With no need to calibrate, And life will castigate, In us we fabricate. A reflection that will crack, A future all in black, A loss of track, Payment for the choice to slack. A reflection that leaves a gap, Feelings that will always trap, Angry that you will never snap, A mirror that gave the slap.
