A One-Way Mirror
Locations
It's a one-way glass, this curtain of mine.
I can see them all; their thoughts and their feelings
But they cannot see mine.
I can see their anger, their hope and their disapointment
But they cannot see mine.
I hear every word, I know what they expect, and I know how to give it through this one-way curtain.
I give them what they want, so that they are happy as they are.
Looking at me, through this one-way glass, they see themselves as content as they are
And they believe it is me.
I can see their smile
But they cannot see mine.
And why should they? They are happy, seeing only their reflections labled with my name
They are happy that I am the same as they are
So why would I leave this curtain of mine?
Why would I leave when it would only bring disapointment that I am not them?
I can see their character,
But they cannot see mine.
