no more than just an illusion
yet a face revealing the pain 
which wasn't there before

a prisoner chained 
by the requirements
without a key to free 
the loving heart inside

a mirror with a scar
may not be perfect
yet each one is different
in its own special way so
don't overlook the qualities 
a scar can sometimes hide

there's no way to turn back time
so why hold on to old pain?
let go of the echo's of the past 
wipe away all the falling tears

little by little learn from the 
mistakes made and change
the wrongs into the rights
with every new day 
there is a new horizon
