Reflections
​
I look upon my reflection in shame
For I did not have the courage to take that one step
For I cannot truly say I tried when no effort was put in.
Staring back at me is my ideal.
For staring back at me is what is known but not admitted.
This reflection is my shame and my pride
One step
One I did not take

I look again and see change
These eyes staring back at me are not what they once were
For hard decisions had been made
For some bonds had been broken and some strengthened
I fell and found my way out of the dark hole
I fell and got up with renewed strength and stronger conviction
For this reflection is my better
This reflection is what I've come closer to
One step
​One step I had to take
