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
