Mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Exactly what is your role?
My appearance is all I see
You keep staring at me;
Oh, mirror tell me why
Can't show who I am inside
Help me if you can
And try to lead a hand;
Mirror you're just a lie
I ask questions, never got a reply
So sick of this deceit
The way you've tried to cheat;
For you, mirror, I have a deal
I don't think you're real
It's time to let you fall
No more mirrors on my wall.

Very innovative way of expressing the search for one's personal identity. It's a tried and true metaphor that never loses its attraction for fresh writers.
