I look to the mirror and what do I see?
A man with Saiyan black spikes
and compassionate hazel eyes,
and a blazing gold cross across his neck.

Who could this person possibly be?
This disgusting sinner whom few seem to like
Who has a lord he unintentionally defies
But who is always able to put him in check.

Who is the man in the mirror with the key?
Is he the care free kid who likes to hike?
Is he the actor who is trying to hide?
Is he possibly the emotional wreck?

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
This person in the mirror, who could it be?

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
