Reflection
Reflection
Roots buried deep,
Deep within my soul
Destruction their only mission
Refusing to let me go.
Seeds planted on
playgrounds and
Other life affairs,
Their suffocating lies replacing my clear air.
Mirror mirror on the wall
My enemy and greatest fall.
Weights that pull me down
My thoughts are a merry-go-round.
Words used as weapons
Cut me to the core
Even years later I cannot decipher truth anymore.
With frail bones and a bruised heart
My deepest struggle tares me apart.
Who will listen as I drown?
These murky waters have no sound.
Who can hear beneath each tear?
With smokey lenses nothing is clear.
But I remember what you said
This is why you hung and bled.
In my weakness, I am made strong
This road I’ve traveled, you’ve walked along.
In this poverty, I am made rich
You pick me up right out of this ditch.
Every strip makes all things new
You do what only love can do.
You do what only love can do.
