Look at my reflection
Tell me what you see
Do you see the man I am
Or the man I used to be 

Do you see a broken soldier
With nothing left to give
Do you see a haunted spirit
With no life left to live

Do you see a weary traveler
Who's been lost along the way
Do you see a desolate soul
Who's mind has gone astray

Or do you see the man I am
Driven by my past
Rewriting my own story
With the greatness I was cast

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
