Set It Straight

Ocean breezes
Torrent waves 
Fields of wildflowers 
Blown away
Heart of gold
Peace of mind 
But part of you left behind 
Alone in a world savaged by fear
Now inked away to make it here
To be the goddess so unaware
You're still gazing into a broken mirror 
Clouded by fear and liquid hate
She forced you there
She set you straight 
To see yourself through bleary eyes
Through those of an unsatisfied life
But now you've come so far
With one last step to take
Rivet the mirror 
Set it straight
