REFLECTION

This is for those who did the soul-searching,

And realized what went wrong.

This is for those who dug deeper, absorbed, understood the last word,

For those who stopped to listen to life's song.

You know, when you look into a pond, you see your inside as well as the outside and your emotions go on a rollercoaster ride.

Those ripples you see are what you caused in someone else's life, disturbance among the calm, but just know it's ok to try again.

Those eyes looking back at you are filled with guilt cause of deeds gone wrong, because you've suffered for too long, but just know it's ok to try again.

Your reflection says it all, determines your rise and fall but you still ignore it and wonder why you fell.

Finally, you've opened your eyes! Now it's time to work for the grand prize which is to redeem yourself, show the rest you've changed. You can look at your reflection and say, "I did it. I'm better now."

Now, as I leave you to reap what you've been sowing,

Just remember if you reflect on where you've come from,

You'll be able to realize where you're going.
