The Stranger in the Mirror
I hate the world,
I hate my friends,
I have no more love,
I do not deserve to live.
Darkness surrounds me,
Fear infests me,
Helplessness controls me,
And nobody will miss me,
A building;
An elevator ride,
The world far below,
And just one step...
A gun;
The click of the saftey,
The raise of a hand,
And the pull of a finger...
A noose;
The feel of rope,
They tying of a knot,
And a sudden and swift drop...

A noose;
The feel of rope,
The tying of a knot,
And arms to catch me.
A gun;
The click of the saftey,
The raise of a hand,
And a swift embrace.
A building;
An elevator ride,
The world far below,
And a hand on my shoulder.
Hope surronds me,
Joy fills me,
Support guides me,
And my friends love me.
I care for the world,
I care for my friends,
I can love myself and others,
I deserve to live.
The stranger in the mirror;
He hates me,
He hurts me,
He wants to kill me.
He is a part of me,
But he does not control me,
I am free.
