Gazing into the mirror
A symmetry of reflection
Eyes once so familiar
A portrait of rejection
External life so perfect
Travels so a plenty
The camera soon switches off
Alone and now so empty
Likes are not important
All dressed up in time
The costume masquerades my pain
My internal crime
Every bird that’s once caged
Deserves the chance to fly
Breaking of the shackles
Before we crash and die
This rat escaped this race
For I only run for me
Nobody now to answer to
This butterfly is free
For now, there are no answers
To my internal questions
So two fingers up to the big wild world
I’m done with your rejections
