Hey guys! I'm back again to take another pathetic swing at poetry. Please forgive me and just ignore it!

Reflections

I looked at the man in the mirror today

To see just what he had to say

And if the scars had gone away

Or if they would be here to stay

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I stared at him without a sound

He stared right back and held his ground

Time seemed to stand still all around

As each and every scar he found

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The man in the mirror is much like me

Masking pain his friends don't see

And though his heart does disagree

He becomes what they need him to be

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So the man in the mirror keeps pain at bay

The void in his soul gets swept away

In the depth of his mind, where it must stay

Until the hero saves the day.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But the man in the mirror, he knows what is true

He knows things about me nobody else knew

He knows exactly what I'm going through

When others haven't got a clue

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As I looked away from the mirror

To a picture of all those I hold dear

Their friendly faces ever near

I marched forwards without a fear

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My family need me to be strong

For times of war, when things go wrong

To lean on me when days grow long

It is with them that I belong

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My scars just show what I became

They give a purpose to my name

They remind me that life is not a game

And that my friends are what keep my soul aflame

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
