Mirrors
It wasn't until I looked in the mirror
That I began to see things clearer
Now looking back
Sometimes I just have to laugh
How I ever thought life was so bad
All the things I learned...everything I had
No mother to lean on, or cry to
No father, no...nothing new
A home in which I was a stranger
An ever winding staircase of danger
Family only to ridicule
An anger raged, a storm began to fuel
And off I went out on my own
To find an identity I had never been shown
Lost, afraid...and alone
The fear within me had grown
Still I urged onward, shallow in my mind
Hoping I would someday find
The truth I sought so many years
Through empty cries, and foggy mirrors.
That I began to see things clearer
Now looking back
Sometimes I just have to laugh
How I ever thought life was so bad
All the things I learned...everything I had
No mother to lean on, or cry to
No father, no...nothing new
A home in which I was a stranger
An ever winding staircase of danger
Family only to ridicule
An anger raged, a storm began to fuel
And off I went out on my own
To find an identity I had never been shown
Lost, afraid...and alone
The fear within me had grown
Still I urged onward, shallow in my mind
Hoping I would someday find
The truth I sought so many years
Through empty cries, and foggy mirrors.
