The waves are calm again, and I can see my reflection
But when I look, I'm unrecognizable
I see a different person in the same mirror, or is it
Maybe only my perception has changed
And what I used to consider myself
Was never more than a mirage
Or perhaps it's the mirror that's been altered
My mind with it's undulating walls and twisted images
Regardless, the reflections were always lies
These are my kingdoms
Elaborate attempts toward innocence made by embracing pain and it's source
While masking apathy with facades of guilt
I even fooled myself
Then you show me it doesn't have to continue
I stop and intentionally look inward for the first time in forever
And I see the distance, the horizon
A personal genesis with no more kingdoms
