staring at my reflection

I stare at my reflection
in a broken mirror,
letting myself fall
into a flood of tears,

this strange little boy
staring back at me,
so sad and alone
but how could this be?

I am not the boy I once was,
you changed me
you made me who
you wanted me to be.

no matter how hard I tried
I was just never enough,
the road you lead me on
was just too tough.

when you left me all alone,
I tried to stay strong..
I soon realized I was weak,

but you new that all along,

tears pouring from my eyes,
wondering who I have become.

the pain in me subsides,
because of it,
I have become numb.

the reflection in the mirror
is not what it seems.
because it’s not the mirror that's broken.

the one that’s broken.. is me!!
