Something needs fixing
Something has gone missing
So I start with the man in the mirror
I get up close just to see clearer
I try to figure out what I see
But what I see isn't me
Broken down and disfigured
Reassembled but misconfigured
Like a collage glued together
With tears, pain, hurt, and lies
False hopes, empty promises,
A bunch of tries, and silent cries
But I hide all this
Cause who would want this
**** I barely want this
So what doesn't **** you makes you stronger?
I don't believe this to be true
Cause at times I don't know what to do
So as I stare upon this reflection
Straight opposite of perfection
But I have to start somewhere
So I start here
With the man in the mirror
