Whenever I Look Into The Mirror

Whenever I look in the mirror,
I see this person staring back at me.
He’s dying to tell me something,
I wonder what it could be?

He’s not in the mood to talk much,
so I’m trying to analyze.
Things as misery and despair,
can be read in his lonely eyes.

Whenever I look in the mirror,
it’s like I’m looking at a disgrace.
This person is about to fall apart,
it’s written all over his face.

His frown says he’s given up,
you can read shame in each eye.
His mouth is only opening,
whenever he feels the need to cry.

Whenever I look in the mirror,
this person just can’t control his tears.
It’s like he’s lost in eternal darkness,
not even a humble smile appears.

All he ever does is sit there,
just feeling sorry for himself.
Because there’s nothing keeping him alive,
and there is no one there to help.

Whenever I look in the mirror,
I can see him wondering why.
He’s almost begging me to kill him,
but I don’t really want him to die.

I want to know why he’s so lost,
why he’s forever stuck in hell.
Because that lonely look in his eye,
just makes me want to cry as well.

Whenever I look in the mirror,
I wish there’s something I could do.
How can I end this poor kid’s pain?
how can I help him to pull through?

But this is not my battle to fight,
he has to do it on his own.
Otherwise he’ll end up with nothing,
and he will always be alone.

Whenever I look in the mirror,
I see there’s emptiness inside.
There’s nothing left for him to go by,
not a bit of dignity, nor pride.

No matter how often I wipe his tears,
they never seem to go away.
But I’ll keep praying until a smile,
will be staring back at me someday...
