Reflections

I look at my reflection, who is that staring back at me,
That’s not the man I know, the man I'm suppose to be,
Lost is the light that shone from deep within my eyes,
My soul wanders as it searches across the skies,

I’m fighting so hard just to stay alive,
Using all my strength just to survive,
My heart is empty deep inside of me
I’m an empty shell of who I use to be,

Even if I try to be what I use to be,
There’s always a stranger looking back at me.

Look in the mirror and tell me what you see,
That’s not the man I am or who I want to be,
Look in the mirror, I will never be the same,
I’m the only one that can bear all the shame

Screaming in the darkness, screaming at the night,
Where are the answers, of a life that’s lost its light,
Trying to find a direction, find a place to start,
Just looking for some feelings to fill this empty heart,

Even if I try to be who I use to be,
There’s always a stranger looking back at me.


Look at the mirror, who's that supposed to be,
That's a stranger looking back at me

I wrote 'the girl in the mirror' few years ago...I can relate. Years of experiences and lessons learnt change us in every way so wanting to be who we were once might as you said impossible. But we don't have to be estranged from our old selves...we can get to know and make friends with ourselves again and again and again...
A great reflective write...thumbs up handshake
