Mirror Mirror on the wall

I'm looking in the mirror
Not liking what i see
I see the mirror-image
Of a stranger that is me

It seems life's out to test me
Or so I do believe
And though some things will hurt us
There are some that will relieve!

I'm looking, searching empty eyes
Still seeing only pain
Sorrowful eyes are screaming...
"Will life never be the same?"
