As we stumble out of bed
These mundane mornings
We look into the mirror
To see all the brightness drowning
The shadows of youth
That no longer come to light
The remains of lust & lore
Of the nights that burnt bright
The shattered hopes
And painful dreams
Of everything we could be.
So much has gone wrong
And what has life become
Dream big, they said
Behind the shallow smirk
Not warning us that one day
We won't dream at all.
So we look into the mirror
And see the spotty face
Dark shadows and baggage
Of dreams long past a fade
We see all we never became
And the life we have to accept
If only the heart would stop
Beating I am I am I am….
