I look into a mirror
And what do I see?
Just worthless garbage
Nothing that's worthy
Of your graceful touch
Or your perfect smile
How do you stand it?
Just wait awhile
No one can help me
Because I let no one in
I don't share my thoughts
I don't know where to begin
I waste away
One day at a time
A pathetic life
God's great design
You thought you could help me
Keep my fears at bay
Silence consumes us
There's nothing I can say
You start to drift away
I'll pretend not to see
You'll join the crowd
And lose faith in me
But don't worry about it
I'll be there too

This would be a cool song.

You did a really good job of rhyming. Impressive.

I know you don't have a critique message, but I'm just wondering if you'd be able to make the lines longer, as in joining the short lines together to elongate the ideas that you present. Not all lines have to be short, or long; both can be used. Shorter lines usually get an idea across, or used for "dramatic" purposes, whereas longer lines are more suitable for explaining ideas and are more flexible. Very well done tho. I really enjoyed the read.
