New line:

I look in the mirror and I see

 

[Capstone]

...I look in the mirror and I see...

I can see a lion in the mirror
disguised within the body of a lamb;
but looking closer still, I see I am
uncertain as to which reflection's clearer--

the image of the hunter or the prey;
the bleating heart or savage roaring brute;
the mane of gold or cheaper woolen suit;
the will to lead or penchant to obey?

And so I'm left this clear dichotomy
disseminated in the looking glass,
the present paradox of ages past:
the simple fact that both of them are 'me',

and sheepish owing to the lion's pride,
the two lie down together deep inside.
