*Stranger In the Mirror*

There's a stranger in the mirror

All fogged up, wish I could make them clearer

I try to shake their hand,

But we never touch

We just stand there watching one another

Wondering

Wondering why and how and when and where

Where did it go upside down

Only able to frown,

I feel like a clown

Sometimes, I can be fun, 

Or I can be a real nightmare

A monster

Monsters hurt people,

They roam out of control

I cannot hold my willfulness

All it causes is destruction and pain

Here we go again,

And again and again

All over again

Headphones blaring and pounding to forget and tune out life,

My misfortune, to others I cause strife

My neighbor, friend, brother

I hurt them like no other

But to vanquish the monster saddens the crowd

All I want is to make them proud

A war I'll never win

I can feel it coming

Here we go again

I just want the person in the mirror clear 

But instead I am stuck here

Here in the foggy dark

With no direction

Tripping over people and forgotten dreams, because I cannot see

So, I'll continue to bleed on myself and others

Making a mess of everything and everyone

I just want to be done

But this war will never be won.
