Is the reflection real?

Mirror, mirror; what do I see?--A scared little girl looking back at me...
Mirror, mirror; what do I feel?-- I feel like my soul refuses to heal.
Mirror, mirror; what do I hear?--Empty words unspoken, cause me to fear.

Looking at the mirror I shatter the glass--
Now's time to rid myself of this sordid past.
And hopefully this time the changes will last--
As I realize there are no magic spells to cast.

Mirror, mirror; what shall I see?-- A strong powerful woman looks back at me.
Mirror, mirror; what shall I feel?--Powerful knowledge that demons I can kill.
Mirror, mirror; what shall I hear?-- Your words of closeness drawing me near.

I look deeply into the shattered mirror one final time
and wonder if beautiful peace could ever truly be mine. 
I don't think it belongs to me, the happy face I see
and shatter again the glass with all of its duplicity..
