I'm walking
On this path
It's called life

It travels
Into the deep
Dark forest

No one's
By my side
At any point

As I walk
Into the forest
I see something shiny

What is it?
It is a
Mirror with cracks

I look at it
I see my reflection
What have I become?

I fall to the ground
and wonder
How I became this way

I stand up
And walk around
Leaving a trail of tears

I look around
No one
That's nothing new

I can't go back
There's a river
Full of tears

There's a path
Full of
Disappointment and pain

No way
Am I going
to go back

There's only
Regret
And misery
