Your Reflection


I am as your reflection
You foresaw all I would see.
The path was laid out before me,
The path to all I would be.

I opened my eyes in pure wonder
For all the beauty around.
All of my life had soft colours…
And music… was every sound.

Then every long day a struggle
Fighting and shouting… and wars.
The day was no longer beautiful,
Life is almost destroyed.

If I am made in your image?
And if I am what I will be?
Why must you destroy yourself…
Just so I can be me?
