Mirror


	I look into the mirror
And it does look back towards me
	As I look closer
I don’t like what I do see
	I try to break the chains
Brought about by the fears
	Don’t know how to explain
The struggles through the growing years
	The highs and the lows
Between the battles and the strife
	Crossing the finish line 
And the battles I did win or I did lose
	Just finishing the race
Brings me to where I am today
	Doesn’t matter which place
But my present outlook on the way.
