Mirror

As he stared deep into his eyes A tear formed and soon he began to cry For he was ashamed of who he saw He tried so hard for many days And out of that bottle he began to crawl But in the end he just couldn't change his ways Now as he stares into his eyes begins to think About the rough times in his life And the decision he made to just give up hope What a stupid mistake to take that one drink And drove away his wife It took all the strength he had left to untie the rope He swept away the tears from his face With each tear he brushed away He decided that this was the time to truly change He may of done some things wrong in the past But now was a time to embrace And never again will his footsteps sway But found that his life he would rearrange And a new man would emerge from this cast As he turned from the mirror He saw the whole world for what it was To him now it was so much clearer Now life is the drug in which he gets his buzz
