Recapturing Youth

I wish I could recapture 
the beauty of my youth 
erase the lines caused 
by running the streets  
picking up the needle and acting a fool. 
 
Now looking in the mirror  
I see my looks are fading 
tracks of a hard life 
knowing I can't turn back time. 
 
I want to smash the mirror 
until my fists are bloody 
now the mirror is shattered 
and i'm looking at ten different versions of my face. 
 
All mocking me with a tic tock tone 
each day your wilting just a little more 
I wasted my youth chasing the dragon 
wondering if the looking glass is reflecting my soul 
I look deep into my eyes. 
 
I see my youth 
staring back at me 
not having lost any thing 
because my inner girl has been  
hidden inside.
