THE CRUELTY OF REFLECTION

Yesterday he barely woke up
Shivering he looked in the mirror
He watched his eyes look back in despise
It reminded him of the nobody he is
He ran his hands through his hair in despair
And the once so cheerful boy broke down in tears
Realized he'd succumed to all his childhood fears

Many times he'd longed for someone to hold him
A wing to hide him when the storm set in
But all alone in his misery he prayed to God
To forgive, forget and take him for what he was
'Cause taken for a fool he'd done so many foolish things
And often he'd regret his life and wished to die

During only this minute of reflection I'd become
Amazingly much lower, so incredible much slower
And with my loneliness manifest I turned back in shame
Saddened I wished another day goodbye
One more time I'd fallen from grace
I'd woke up only to be detiriorated, so I went back to bed
And in a state of anaesthaesia I drifted away
Just another wasted day in a wasted life
But one step closer to the last
