I dare to see what i look like to you

By Rebel tiGer King

When I look in the mirror
I notice I've fallen
Behind the gray wall
Behind my smile
Another masque
And for you baby
A thousand candles
One for each tear
You've bled for me
Surrounding me
Facing up
The pain is sharp
The air is thick
And your fingers
Are an eternity away
And for a moment
I dare
To break outside my pity
So that for once
I dare
To see what I look like to you

    Nice collab fellas. I often imagine how I must look through the eyes of others. Hopefully the reality is better than I think it probably must be. Nicely written.
