Man In the Mirror

I see the pain in your eyes I've seen the tears you have cried But on the other hand I see the greatness inside I still hear the screams You know when you were abused as a child Your skies were never sunny Always covered with grey clouds And when you tried to speak up They said you were too loud So you always kept mum Brought up by a single parent So you never saw Dad Now I'm wondering who you are.. Cos you really look familiar Oh yea you're that man in the mirror I see the grief on your face I wont want to be in your place I remember the day you first cut up your wrists I know the pain gave you temporal bliss But after the guilt seeped in... You punched the wall so hard you had to wrap up your fist Then your cousin introduced you to filth Couple years down the road... You cant even get up to piss You now have a skinny frame Doctors say you got AIDS Now I'm wondering who you are Dang, you're the man in the mirror Sometimes I hate the image This replica of me... I can be anything in the mirror I don't want to be a villain But its hard to be a hero And I have to remember that this man doesn't define me My actions or in-actions make him what he is The man in the mirror is zero without me
