You look in the mirror
You don’t recognize
The stranger staring back
With passionless eyes
The path that you followed
Took some hard turns
Not knowing which direction
You wouldn’t get hurt
The smile on your face
Is a meager disguise
Hides the chains on your soul
Your world of dark lies
Love comes and goes
time passes by
time passes by
A box of broken hearts
You hold as your prize
Never satisfied
With what you’ve become
No one ever noticed
That you were just numb
So wake yourself up
From the nightmare you live
Your heart can start healing
When you receive what you give
Look back in the mirror
What will you see?
A being of God’s love
Your spirit soars……
Finally free
