Wrong Reflection

I look in a mirror, and what do I see?
Only a stranger looking back at me.
I changed so much from before.
I don't recognize myself anymore.

In a blink of an eye all was lost.
But was it really worth all it cost?
I lost my friends, my own respect.
Ill get rid of what the mirror reflects.

I punched the mirror, the image split.
The pieced broke and I said "this is it".
I'll fix this mirror to where it was before.
Before my old image became no more.
