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.
