Faced Myself
I talked to the mirror today
Tinge of surprise
And the man that spoke back
Was wise
He told me a tale of a man
Survivor yet weak
Feigning strength to one and all
Yet meek
Finding fault in everyone he sees
Saving them all
Solving the problems of all the world
Then fall
It said the man seldom tried
Expected so much
A dreamer with visions unlived
Clumsy touch
Full of love to give but trust is guarded
Searching for love
Though torched he still strives on
Aided above
I talked to the mirror today and in it was me
Not a surprise
I finally faced myself and told the truth
Removed disguise
