Standing in front of the mirror
Staring at a man who stared down a good life
Who walked out on everything
A man who’s childish errors still haunt him
A shell of a man
Empty inside from bad choices
The cost of his mistake demanding a high toll
The price, years of his life
His past was the best part of his life
The present a bitter scar worn on his face
His memories creating a multiverse of what he should’ve done
This broken man trying to piece together what’s left
The crumbled pieces of a previous life
Still after all these years
No clue to why he did it
Living a present nightmare
Dreaming of a better past
He can’t stand looking at this failure
He hates this game of looking in the mirror
The face that stares back
That of a worthless man
Unshaven, unclean and with no care for himself
The reflection of the man starring back, too much take
