I look in the mirror
I open the files
It’s time to play the game
There’s quiet Yuri
Hiding in her books
Sharp, intelligent
A hidden nebula
Passionate, but hiding
In fear of being wrongThere’s sweet Sayori
Always with a smile
Air headed, bouncy
Deeply loving for her friends
Carrying an anchor
She knows she’ll one day drown
There’s bold Natsuki
Adorable, but harsh
Standing up and fighting
Knowing she doesn’t fit
But carving a niche for herself
Pretending the empty space doesn’t hurt
There’s beautiful Monika
Almost perfect in her way
Smart, beautiful, idolized
But struggling to lead
Too self aware
Trapped in a waking nightmare
I could play Yuri
She’s so shy
People love a mystery
I could mimic Sayori
She’s so warm
People love her smiles
I could pass as Natsuki
A fighter to the core
People love the chance to see
Beyond what she’s prepared
I could be Monika
Watching everything
People love a tragedy
People hate and fear Yuri
Her obsessions are terrifying
Her knives show a slipping sanity
The monster underneath
I won’t pick her
People pity Monika
But also see a villain
A broken sanity
And blood on her hands
I won’t pick her
People want to save Sayori
She’s too sweet not to
They see salvation in her
Loving her is easy
That’s not me
That leaves Natsuki
The sane one
The fighter
I could reflect her easily
But what if
that’s not rightWhat if the monster’s me?
