As you gaze into the mirrored glass, wondering at your reflection The man you see gazing back at you, not quite who you want to be I am seeing you from the other side of the reflection Wondering why you see what you see, and not what I see I can see the colors of you, some bright, some muted All swirling together into a rainbow of sorts A wondrous thing to see, you and your colors all about you I wonder why you don't see them, why you don't feel them You looking into the silver, me looking beyond the silver I see the strength that you doubt you have I see the courage you thought you had lost I wonder why you don't see them either You are searching, you feel me, but you can't see me I see the creativity that is plain to me, hidden to you I see the honor that hones your spirit you don't see it I wonder why you doubt yourself You are frustrated that it isn't coming sooner I see the joy that words give you see the pain I see the incredible wonder in you, you won't look I wonder why you won't look through my eyes You begin to turn away from the mirror, full of doubt and pain I call for you to turn back but you don't hear me, you keep turning I shatter the glass, and then tell you to look again I wonder if you have the will to do it You turn and see yourself reflected time and again you smile Finally, you see what I have seen, all of who you really are You only needed a different look, a different view I wonder if you understand a shattered self-image often reveals the truth A poem by Tammy� 2000 music: "Hey You" - Pink Floyd
