What I Thought Was Real

I picture this clear image.
I am happy.
Everything is perfect.
Yea…
Right…
Get real.

I’m tired of convincing me.
I know what I’ll be,
The opposite.
The puzzle piece I’ve mad e just won’t fit.

I see the mirror and I can’t help it…
Distorted scowl,
My reflection is nothing but foul.

The dream I loved and cherished
Is dead again.
I know it’s gone
Goodbye my friend …
I wish you could’ve been there
But instead.
I saw you end…
