Come here for a moment and look into this mirror. Let me look into your glossy eyes,
please don't cry.

I want to tell you that you'll be okay,
your brain is decayed,
but your a good person,
it wasn't your fault what happened to you when you were young.

“I know, But I’m falling apart and my self esteem is broken,
my heart is telling me I’m worthless and I try,
but I cannot stop crying inside.

I play pretend from the moment I wake up,
then I walk up to this stupid mirror and have this conversation with myself.
My agony intends to comfort me but it only makes it worse,
because it forces me to remember the things I deem to be a curse.

I feel as if I’m heading for a nervous breakdown, that I will never be able to afford!
Not physically or emotionally especially towards this girl.”

That girl is what holds you together and she loves you more then life itself.
Now wipe your tears from off your face and grab your smile from off the shelf.

You have to hold it together for her,
be stronger then your mind,
Don’t let it overtake you son,
allow yourself to be refined.

“You don't know what it means to be a father,
or what it takes to raise a son,
so who are you to tell me that these feelings can be overcome?”

I didn't realize that you didn't want my help.
I guess when you asked a question
I kind of took it upon myself,
to reason on the matter then offer a suggestion
all the while never knowing
that you were annoyed with my obsession.

I'm only trying to help and define you.
As your trying to figure out what's beside you.
I never meant for this to come too.
And I certainly didn't think that I would lose you.

“You’re the reason I feel this way
My breathing is extremely shallow,
You’re the cause of all my dismay,
Emotionally I feel hollow.”

Here it is in July
you’re mentally sifting through the lies
that were told throughout your life,
thinking that maybe you can make things right.
……if in the past you only tried.
But you just died deep inside.

As your mirror within is cracked
because your mind is under attack
And your Emotionally detached
Because this mirror reflects your past.
