Unless you know me,
You'll never know yourself.
I am Time's price for life,
And as shallow as they come.
You search within me
For what you should be
Searching yourself for
I reflect the outer image,
Incapable of getting past skin deep,
I contain your reflection
And remain your opposite.
I do the opposite of you,
And have no depth.
I am what defines your worth,
I only reflect what is there,
Ugly or Beautiful,
Young or Old,
Good or Evil,
I've seen them all,
And they've all seen themselves
In
Me
