I looked down to see
So many startling reflections of me
Staring back from upon the floor
Through the pieces of my broken soul
What was it that broke my heart
Ripped it out and tore it apart
A part of me just standing there
And that part of me really didn’t care
That part of my life was no stranger to me
I bowed my head down just in time to see
The tears about to streak down my face
Run down in an uncontrollable haste
Tears of sadness and of pain
Tears of despair, all in vain
Tears of shattered dreams and hope
Oh, how was I supposed to cope?
Through it all, my smile held in place
I could still hear my heart race
Took a while for the realization to dawn
This really was the end of my song
A melody I’d hum to myself all day
It looked like it wasn’t here to stay
The one I’d sing to sleep at night
But I let it go without a fight
The pain I felt now turned to rage
It was time to turn the page
To move on with what’s left of life
Forget about the pain and the strife
Surely there’s something out there for me
Through all of my flaws I only want people to see
The person I am, the real me
And the person I really want to be
