BADGE OF LIFE

I hear the words
But I don't believe them

I see the actions
And they scare me

There is no life....

Quite like mine

These winding stairs
That I must travel

I see right through
This cracked mirror

The face I see
Is not quite mine

This storm of ice
Throws knives
Upon me

The wall around me saves my soul

The wounds I wear
Are not quite mine

The resolution
The lessons shaped me

The smiles that greet me
The eyes that meet mine 

This life
This life

It must be mine

Very well put, it is often difficult to confront your own identity and accept who you are.
