Mirror and me
Mirror shows a different person,
A person I don’t want to see—
Failed, broken, shattered, and bruised.
Who is it? Is it me?
That’s not the life he was promised;
That’s not what he wanted to be.
I can’t recognize him...
Who is this? Is it me?
His dreams unfulfilled,
His heart broken as much as he,
His will shattered like broken glass.
Who is it? Is it me?
Why is he still alive?
Maybe there’s hope that he can see,
A hope that he can change.
Now I remember him.
It’s me.
