Looking in the mirror
The villain that I see
Staring from my own eyes
Declaring war on me
Why are we so opposed?
What made us disagree?
We should be on the same side
Because we are both me
But I learned to criticize
And cast blame on all I do
Never forgiving any sin
Making my worst thoughts true
In time I came to realize
This guilt and this remorse
Kept me from self expansion
Left me on just one course
To stop the self destruction
I made a new agreement
And put my values first
Became my greatest ally
Stopped calling myself the worst
Now looking in the mirror
No more enemy is there
Now I simply look upon
Someone whose full of care
