Negative Reflection
Seems the harder I try
The harder I fall.
Makes me wonder sometimes
Why I try at all
Lord you aren't supposed to give me
More than I can take
But lately youve been bending me
To point i want to break
The person I've become
Isn't who I want to be
When I look at my reflection
It doesn't look like me
I do my best to ignore it
The pain is always there
Tell myself this too shall pass
It's a heavy burden to bare.
