I woke up this morning No different than anyother day. As I do every morning I made my way into the shower I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror They reflect back to us ourselves Physically they show how we appear before others Metaphorically they show how we are inside Reflecting our inner emotions and thoughts I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror Who I saw was no longer me That boy, If he truly is human... Was not me Perhaps I am but a former shell of who I was Or is it that I didnt see the changes so obvious to others? I make more mistakes than I can keep up with Snapping at you Turning on others Making poor decisions and ultimately You said im pushing you away... Id rather die if I didnt have you Petty and pathetic as that is There is no meaning to my life otherwise So... Who is this person in the mirror before me? I cant recognize him and I dont know how to bring me back

My Reflection
I woke up this morning No different than anyother day. As I do every morning I made my way into the shower I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror They reflect back to us ourselves Physically they show how we appear before others Metaphorically they show how we are inside Reflecting our inner emotions and thoughts I couldn't bring myself to look in the mirror Who I saw was no longer me That boy, If he truly is human... Was not me Perhaps I am but a former shell of who I was Or is it that I didnt see the changes so obvious to others? I make more mistakes than I can keep up with Snapping at you Turning on others Making poor decisions and ultimately You said im pushing you away... Id rather die if I didnt have you Petty and pathetic as that is There is no meaning to my life otherwise So... Who is this person in the mirror before me? I cant recognize him and I dont know how to bring me back
Just..I..... looks down sadly weeping
