Reflection
I sit here wondering who I am,
 Wondering who I’m going to be,
 Dreaming of who I want to be,
 I stare out the window,
 As I watch the cars go by,
 I happen across a reflection,
 I see a shape so familiar,
 It bores me,
 It’s me,
 I turn,
 As I do she comes on the radio singing her new single,
 I see her face in my head, 
 The reflection I want to see in the window,
 She’s got it all,
 Everything I could ever dream of,
 I try my very hardest not to envy her,
 So I sit here and dream on,
 My mind wanders,
 I think,
 Who am I,
 Who exactly do I want be,
 And how do I get there,
 What’s first,
 Why does she have it?
 What do I have to do?
 Why is it so hard?
 So hard just for a chance,
 One chance to prove to those people who didn’t think I could get to this point,
 I want to prove I can get so much farther,
 I want to show people what I have to show,
 Its going to happen,
 Why, when, where, how,
 I need answers,
 But I have none,
 Not one,
 But I have to keep believing,
 I have to have faith,
 Without faith I have nothing,
 So I hold on,
 I’m not letting go,
 It’s going to happen,
 My time will come,
 
 I will get my new reflection.
