Reflections

Today I looked around only to see
A faded reflection of who I used to be
I caught a stranger stareing back at me in the glass
And it hit me as I was about to pass
It was me clear uncut exposed just letting it all out
I started to wonder who am I and what am I all about
Today it all seemed a bit clearer with only a hint of the haze
My eyes were piercing and caught my gaze
I saw a life time of saddness every reason to hate and a longing for love
I heard her voice calling to me from somewhere above
My intentions weren't always pure and my heart hasn't always been true
It's been awhile since I could really mean I love you
I used to see a monster so angry
And now somewhere in it all I am begining to see me
I guess I am not as bad as I used to be
But none the less my past to my present combined makes me me
