Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall...

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

Who is she who stands so tall

Brave and happy and strong she seems

Through her eyes, wonder gleams

Oh! Old mirror, whom do you hold?

Looks like me but I'm not as bold

"I am you, my dear," the reflection said

"A year ago, when you hadn't lost all that you had"

Why are you here, if I may ask?

She said, "To show you what all has passed,

You gave up everything and you failed

To keep me alive as your mind ailed

You broke your promise, to keep me happy

You took my life and made it scrappy

What happened to me, the one who believed?

How could you give up what I had achieved?"

I smiled at how much hate she had

Everything I am is making you sad

The way you are has made me such

I wouldnt be this, had you not cared so much

You let people in, you held them close

You let them hurt you, whenever they chose

You let things bother you,

Considering the past, this change was overdue..

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall," another voice said

"take them to me, years ahead!"

Another me stood there, older and wiser

"Take me to be your adviser,

I am you, in the years to come

Leaving past behind, focus on what to become

Struggle and failure are a part of life

They will become the reason you arise

Accept and live, instead of worrying

Every moment will lead to something amazing

I am you, after all the falls

Have faith in yourself, and always stand tall"
