You see yourself in a shattered mirror

the distortion closer then the truth,

showing inside instead of out

the wreak that you were as a youth.



The shatter shows healed over scars

cannot be seen, but caused such pain,

circumstances uncontrolled

have left you not at all the same.



Screams of anguish fill your ears

you've locked it deep within your mind,

the gentle person you once were

someone today you can not find.



You live your life from day to day

forget the past for whats to come,

but still a prisoner of your pain

you find you can't trust anyone.



You can not love me for fear of loss

for fear i'll see your scars and run,

you worry I won't understand

that I am just like anyone.



But how I see you, you don't know

and it's to bad that you won't see,

you build walls up and shut me out

'till they come down you won't be free.
