Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall  Please tell me why I always fall When I try to do something that will build me up  Then suddenly lose motivation and zeal for it all  So many pursuits  were met halfway  I tried to learn skills but procrastination domes my way  Or suddenly I'm swamped with other responsibilities  And when I'm ready to go back, people have already gone far  When I look at my reflection what I see  Is a failing hypocrite starting back at me  People think I'm so smart and so put together  They don't know what burns underneath my sweater  I wish I could be easier on myself  And take things one step at a time  But with the way things are going  I can only feel peace with God by my side
