Ode to My Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall
Not too light, not too dark
Oh if I don’t have it all!
In the shadows I’ve been known to lurk
For the world was on fire
And no one could save me, but her
Had I not been such a crier
And looked in the mirror with a blur
Perhaps, I could have seen my all too lonely soul
Burying myself deep in this forlorn hole.

Sinner man, where do I run to?
All my hope is lost
And now i am all but wrapped in this deep black hue
I feel like I am becoming a ghost!
Yet I look in the mirror, and I see myself
Not too tall, not too short
But tell me now, is this an elf,
And all my life, is just a swart?
