Broken

A picture paints a thousand words What does your mirror say? Victim No control over life Good things only happen to others Victor Achieve the impossible Steel forged in fire Your world is so full of anger and hate You take your bad life out on everyone Changing only the people and places The pattern repeated over and over Always in a fire and still not forged Your useless dull blade A picture paints a thousand words Your mirror is speaking But the words fall on deaf ears Borrow my mirror and see It says the same words as yours Because it reflects a thousand words for you But you only need to hear one

A universal message contained in this fine poem. I've been there along with many others. The individual always has to take responsibility and decide to change for the better.

Hi there. Yes, it is always the individual's responsibility no matter how much we try to help them improve. Some people can't be helped and they just make everything worse. Thank you!
