Things just don’t seem to be going right

I keep trying to please everyone

But they all want something different

And no matter how hard I try

There’s one person I can’t please

That person is me

Everyday I look in the mirror

And I say to myself

Who are you, and where did that other person go?

I know I used to have a reflection

But now I reflect people’s desires

Can someone tell me when I became the mirror

No one complains

And when they do I change again

I’ve been searching for a shadow of what I really am

But now I am stuck living in these shadows

If only some light could shine down on me

So I can see the path to what’s real
