Man In The Mirror

I see my reflection...

 

 

I see a man in the mirror,

seeing him being torn apart

by the difficulties of life.

Being slowly eroded into the ground.

 

Hes barely able to keep standing,

he's hanging with just one hand.

On the edge of his breaking point

barely able to keep hanging on.

 

He knows he's bound to fall,

fall on his knees exhausted.

As he falls on his knees,

he thinks that this is his limit.

 

He lays on the cruel ground

filled withe despair and sorrow.

Bruised, bloodied and battered,

he feels so helpless and alone.

 

As he lays there thinking,

thinking about the challenges of his life.

How he tried whatever he can

to push him himself through it and hang on.

 

Then suddenly he remembers

what and why he was fighting for.

He pushes himself back up still in pain

but now with renewed or rediscovered strength.

 

I see man in the mirror

he's still facing the difficulties of life.

But hes still fighting and fighting

for his friends, family and his dream.

 

They make his life worth living

and gives him strength through the pain.

He's still standing worn out but strong,

a neverending glint of hope in his eyes.

 

Yea I see a man in the mirror

his eyes shine with hope for the future.

Even when his eyes have to close

they're always hoping to open to his realized dream.
