You used to sing those little tunes
With your little squeaky voice
And dance around from room to room
Running with your toys
You used to cry yourself to sleep
When your dad comes home late
But then next morning you'll forget
You'll wake up feeling great
You'll skip around the house
While you watch those Disney shows
Then you say those fancy words
But the meanings you don't know
With all that skipping, you get hurt
But your mom comes right to you
She'll put a band aid on your wound
Then you're ok just like she knew
With those big eyes and curly hair
You'll give your dad a look
He'll say no and will say enough
But he would still buy you that book
All of those are memories
Of the moments that you had
Because now you're on your own
With many things to understand
Now you sing meaningful songs
Some from matters of the heart
Some from friends and relationships
That now drifted apart
You'll cry yourself to sleep
And will feel like you're alone
You won't need the band aid though
Because you'll wake up strong
Now every word you hear
You don't easily believe
‘Cause you fear that you'll get hurt
You fear that they'll just leave
But all of those are not just fears
They turned to principles
You grew up with all the wisdom
Cause life's no longer simple
Soon after you're on your own
And some things just won't matter
But all you've been through got you there
Different from any other
And so I've said all I need
This poem will be over
I hope you get all that I said
See you later, mirror
