The Mirror of Mirage Written by: Nika (Precious2One), Janis A. Dizon (FaShaBaby), DAFREE1 (DAFREE1), Jacquii (JacquiiC) Gazing in the mirror at the image of me Who do I see? Is this me? Sigh...yeah its me Stretching my mouth open; a smile then a frown Exercising my facial muscles; reflections of years peeping Wrinkles form a dance line atop my brows Gray hairs playing peek-a-boo This person in the mirror is not the same as the one I see inside my head Where is young miss with da tongue twist like Jamaican dreads? Who solely believed that a closed mind is 1 dat don't get fed Life is taking it's toll on me, I long for peace of mind. Physically, I lead my race, but mentally, I lag behind. Like 'Romper Room' I gaze this glass Tell me, tell me, tell me true Are my eyes deceiving me? Is my vision, fantasy? What happened to my hour glass figure? Young Miss thang looked in the mirror again, cracked it again Seeing the rot that resides in her heart again, her soul unkempt And warring. Her mind the closed race of peeping 'pon Insane As the bound Keeper-Sweeper. Prejudice: the sigh unswept! My eyes deceive me naught! The luxury of battle's faught! |
