The Mirror

Stuck in an existence that you don't belong Why were you chosen for this time and place Look in the mirror you see a different reflection Can't even decide what makes you happy Nothing but a sellout is what you are Standing on the auction block to get the top dollar Striving to just fit in but your overwhelmed with indecision These feelings weigh so heavy in this heart Trying to find a section in this book with which to restart All eyes on you an example must be set Though the pain and sadness you must try to maintain Stay focused stay strong words so easy say This reflection is you just own it and rise to the task Self sustaining your own sorrow doesn't work for you Remember the past just don't relive it every day The present is here and your loved ones are near so just be thankful for what you have The future can be fruitful if you just trust in yourself Patience and diligence will bear you a prosperous crop Always keep in mind anyone can be on top This mirror is nothing more than a reflection It measures neither what you were or what you will become but only what you are now.
