A conversation with myself 

Remarkable reflections show themselves to me 

As I find myself consumed by thoughts that hold me 

Witness to a one-sided tug-of-war 

And I promised to…I need to stop 

But I’m mesmerized…I can’t step outside 

I’m caught in the mirror 



Hypnotized by colored images 

Spinning, turning, rolling in my head 

I can’t see through this drifting cloud of smoke 

Unable to discern fact from fiction 

I must find a way 

So I close my eyes and step outside to see what’s real 



Close your eyes to step outside 



As I step outside I hear the voice that told me 

Just what it was I first came out here for 

And I promised to…I need to start 

So I close my eyes and step outside the mirror
