Reflection

When you see your reflection through a mirror,  
It makes your life so much clearer,  
Because you're looking at the past and beyond  
To a place in your mind when you were young.  
To a time when things were so much easier,  
When there was no worrying and life was peaceful.  
So you close your eyes and put your mind at ease,  
Thinking to yourself, can I go back, please?  
Realizing that the answer is no,  
You open your eyes and walk out the door.
