REFLECTION

As I stand in front of the mirror to stare at my reflection
I feel bare as I look through myself, I see my soul's complexion
My soul has grown dark & I now care less for my heart's desire
Hopes crushed, faith cold & in life I have nothing to admire

Where is that joy, that zest that made my days serene
I long for silence, for the calm that prevailed before life's siren
It rang and it distorted the perfect rythm of my heart
How hopeless have I become as I can't add a single wish to my cart

Show me the way & I will follow the brightest star
Find me & bring me back to the fold before I wander off far
Give purpose to my life & let me see reason to my existence
And with time I will wake up, be sane and be thankful for your patience
