Broken Mirror
By Zeph Daniel
It started so young
Run around the block
naked and alone
hoping someone will see
So you can be ashamed
for what’s inside of you
It’s the way it came down
Naked and alone
and confused--
wells up from inside
Nowhere to hide
Looks like the hive
dictates the steps
hoping for you to come out
and play...
... a rainy day...
You run around the block
Naked and alone
Hoping someone will notice
and laugh at you
But you know it’s wrong
They make you ashamed and confused
You need what you hate
You hate what you need
All gonna come out
in the end
Naked and alone
hoping someone will see
you in all your ugliness
You’re just hardwired
to let them have their way with you
You know what you want to do
but you don’t want to do it
To force you
To make you do what
you want to do
(They’re driving you mad
They’re driving you insane)
How can you get away?
How can you live?
