Every morning I wake, I scream and scream, So to alert all, that I am here. I check each room to make sure I am the only one here. Then I look in the mirror and there you are.. Why are you always here? I hate you! Every morning I shout at you, Go away! I hide but when I look, there you are.. Why do you insist on taking over? You slither around me and take control. I face you with all the courage I can muster but In the end, you always win. So I wait for you to weaken and grow weary, And I can take my power back. I have never been past this point But I still feel that small light of hope. So I look into the mirror with such hope. Hope that somehow, someday I can defeat you with that light I feel. I look deeply into the mirror and there you are, waiting for me as always. I won’t give up to you! I will fight to the end. For I truly hate you. I say, you cannot have me or my essence, For that little light of hope still shines on.

Every morning I wake, I scream and scream, So to alert all, that I am here. I check each room to make sure I am the only one here. Then I look in the mirror and there you are.. Why are you always here? I hate you! Every morning I shout at you, Go away! I hide but when I look, there you are.. Why do you insist on taking over? You slither around me and take control. I face you with all the courage I can muster but In the end, you always win. So I wait for you to weaken and grow weary, And I can take my power back. I have never been past this point But I still feel that small light of hope. So I look into the mirror with such hope. Hope that somehow, someday I can defeat you with that light I feel.
