Eyes Looking Back At Me

Gazing into my bathroom mirror My eyes looking back at me Anguish and misery, all i see Years just like groundhog day Never seeing it any other way Life is meant to be more than this If only a genie, grant me a wish We all experience pain this is true Grant me the strength to see this through Please is this never going to end Save me from my misery Luck sometimes comes your way Giving you hope a brand new day So I am now home and all is good Settled sorted as much as one could A quiet moment, inhaling it all in Know that i am here and this is real Knowing this day hasnt been a dream Never to be taken for granted Not once, where i have been Now as i gaze into that mirror I like what looks back at me My eyes see a new chapter Of endless possibilities The sky has no limits New space longtime seen
