Mirror, mirror.

Mirror, mirror.

I am looking straight into your eyes.
I know those eyes.
I know that face.
I know every inch and even every pore.
I have seen it a million times.

Yet it seems so far away.
Something so foreign to me.
Where have you gone?
Who are you now?
I simply don’t know.

Won’t you just come back to me?
Let me see the real you again.
The confidence in those eyes.
The spark of life inside of you.
The warmth and love that shines through.
Where have you gone?

All replaced with something different.
Coldness replaced the warmth within you.
Lack of confidence now marks your face.
Your spark is clearly flickering.
The love had faded from your eyes.
They are blank now, empty inside.
What have you become?

I know you so well.
I know this face as it is mine.
I look into the mirror and it looks back at me.
Somewhere though I lost my way.
Now I don’t recognize my very face.
The mirror reflects the man I am today.
I though want to be the man I can be.

So watch me now as I shattered that mirror.
The image within falling in a million pieces.
My job now is to build it again.
Pick the pieces that equal me.
Find there place in the puzzle of me.
One by one they all are me.
Each one helping to make a new me.

The mirror will take some time to complete.
That is okay with me.
Time, time I got.
I am going to fix it all just right,
I am going to be the me I want to be.

Pieces are together now and yet I dare not look now.
Will I like what I see?
Or will I still despise me?
Can’t run away but can turn to face it either.
My knees wobble but I must forge ahead.
I did the work and now I must face the result.
Either way it is me that I will see.
Me, just me, it will be in the mirror.

I turn and see me looking back at me.
It is a face I pictured long ago.
One I lost along the way.
Here it is before me again today.
Happiness shines from within again.
The heart over flows with love from within me.

I smile as I look into the face that is mine.
I haven’t smiled in a long time but I am now.
I haven’t laughed in a long time but I am now.
Now I am happy with the man in the mirror.
