I close my eyes
Finish my rip
Hearts beating faster
As I begin to trip
Minutes turn to seconds
Keep control
As I begin to lose my grip
I stand and make my moves quickly
Careful each step
As my legs get real shaky
Quickly, I get to the mirror
Today is the day
I face a long time fear
I brace against the counter
I breathe in deeply
Now's the time
The day I see the real me
Question running my mind
What will I see
Eyes the window to your soul
What will my reflection be
Will I see the good man
Or the monster inside me
I stare deep
Just for a moment
Time elapsed
Only 5 seconds
Short time, to mean so much
This day
In my memory it left its touch
I saw the man
Before the glass
Saw him for now
Not his past
Who I am
I begin to grasp
I now rest easy
Knowing
I'm a good person at last
