Dancing With My Demons

In space again
Between waking and sleeping
Caught in shadows
Of wasted life left far behind
The past unfurls
Like so much extra footage
The music plays
A requiem for memories
Who are you?
I cry out to my reflection
A youthful smile
Reminds me who I could be
The recollection
Is aching under my skin
All my mistakes
Making my life a mockery
But if I turn
The light shines on me once more
