Analysis of Me, Myself & I
Vina Karter 1988 (New York)
Who are you
Why must you taunt and harass me
When I look into the mirror
You appear to be the reflection on me
Any place that I attend
I'm constantly reminded of this entrapment
You follow me everywhere
This spirit is my attachment
You surface at any hour
Whether I'm awake or if I'm asleep
I keep running away
Wishing for peace while I sleep
What sent you
To cause havoc in my mind
This bind of affliction
Has become my newly found addiction
Now intertwined in this familiar spirit
I no longer can fear it
I am inspirit
With the host that I see in the mirror
Finally my eyes are awakened
As I contend to embrace this
In this blissful yet condemnation
The glass mirror of my reflection
