One morning I woke up

And saw an image in front of me

I wiped my eyes to see clearly

To see the image that's so dreary

He looks so tired and battered

Like a soldier in a battle

I can see his heart was wounded

And tears are falling to his cheek

I tried to talk to him

But he doesn't seem to hear

My mind then began to wander

Thinking bout the things he has been through

He looks hurt and betrayed

And no one seems to care

From that point I felt pity

To the image standing in front of me

He was so weak and helpless

That made my heart restless

What could have happened to him?

I wondered if this was a dream

I pinched myself to see

Maybe all i'm seeing is part of a dream

But my arm hurt

My eyes were flinching

The image began to cry

I couldn't help him if I try

He walked up to me and started to talk

I paid attention like a hawk

His heart was torn

And his dreams were shattered

His voice felt like he was unwanted

And that he didn't even matter

My eyes then began to tear

His past is now reavealing

In his life he didn't seem to matter

To the people he looked after

Those people he cared and loved

All left, played and betrayed him

All he wanted was someone to care

To be appreciated for what he might have

But everyone turned their backs

And began to have their laughs

My heart then began to shatter

Of how cruel life has done him

No one believed in him

No one even gave a damn about his dreams

If I only have the will and power

To comfort and heal his broken soul

But then I thought he looked familiar

Like someone I've known long

I looked at the image clearly

To my surprise i couldn't speak

My knees began to tremble

Even a word I couldn't mumble

Tears fell down from my eyes

Coz i really know who he was

I couldn't believe what im seeing

I couldn't believe im not dreaming

What happened to the image was true

He's very weak, torn and blue

Now he really seem to matter

Because it was my reflection on the mirror.
