Your Reflection

( Excerpt from album "I Will Partake")

I see your reflection
you're pacing quietly
sorting through the damage
discovering all of your broken dreams

there is nothing tangible
in our interaction
but you are changed
thoughts you brushed aside
are trying to see light again

the things you did
to "fit in"
"look cool"
now you realize
you're still being played a fool

Breaking habits can be hard
but the journey of 100 miles
begins with the first step
the only goal being
to look back with no regrets

you know how to do this
remember from long ago
it's not that hard to change
once you get past fear
chase out the mind killer
reclaim your being
and soon
you'll realize
how easy this really is

worry not
soon you will see
you'll retrace steps you set
and finally be
where you're meant to be
