The Broken Mirror
Walked thru life, broken like a shattered glass mirror..
Picked up his life, piece by piece, by piece and by piece..
The love and life he never had the chance to feel and live was taken too soon..
Twenty years of life passed by so quickly, with no chance to redeem himself..
No family who really cared enough to shine a light on his darkness..
A young and potential upstart to his life, he didn't have the chance to have...
A ball he didn't get the chance to dunk into his favorite basket..
A string he didn't get strum..
A note he didn't get to sing..
A piece of chicken leg he didn't get to finish..
He didn't get the chance to to graduate from college..
Life is so precious and he didn't even get the chance to make more mistakes..
He didn't get the chance to hold his first child in his arms..
He didn't get the chance to pick up the broken pieces of the mirror he looked in everyday..

A shot in the dark took him too soon in life along with all his strife..
No one cared enough to sit by him in his last moments of existence..
When the bullet hit him, he should've been gone in a instant..
Every piece of the broken mirror represents a piece of life he missed because no one cared to bring them back together..
His life will be missed forever..
