Last night I caught my reflection,
As I past the closet door.
I stopped at once to ponder,
Where all the years have gone.
Just yesterday the kids were small,
And hanging on my side.
Innocent, smiling and so full of life.
Their whole world still in store.
So much time I've wasted,
Not being the person I should.
So many hearts I've injured,
While taming my rampant soul.
Stranglely tormented twisted mind,
Thoughts so out of control.
I've bled myself so many times,
I never knew self worth.
For all this I plead for respite.
Take please my confession,
To keep me here evermore.
