The upside down mirror

Standing upside down

Your mirror turned my smile

Into a frown

Just as the way you saw me

Brought me down rather than up

And so it was all the golden sunshine

Began to drain from my inverted cup

So when people ask me

What’s up?

Can I honestly tell them

How it brought me down

So low

That all of this energy inside of me

Having no where to go

Just began to pool and become a stagnant mess

Leading me to a constant preoccupation with guilt

Obsessed with sins to confess

Anyway maybe its all okay

Since that was such a long time ago

It may have taken years for this

To turn the situation right side up

And to understand why my vision of myself

Got so eclipsed

As I learned rather than to fully live life

Instead to resist

And block the flow

Never entirely sure

Of the right way to go
