Reflection

Het is officieel geen gedicht, maar een songtekst. Maar hij is te mooi om verloren te laten gaan...

Look at me...
You may think you see who I really am, but you'll never know me.
Every day it's as if I play a part.
Now I see, if I wear a mask, I can fool the world but I cannot fool my heart...

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart and what I believe in.
But somehow I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly.
That burns with a need to know the reason why.

Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time......
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
