Song of depression I don't have

Think of it as a very rough, VERY rough idea for a song.  No inspiration really...or maybe, it's life's inspiration?  I always wonder about things like this--who we really are, why we're here, and what we're doing to the world.  yeah...create your own tune.  for some reason, it reminds me of Mulan's "Who is that girl I see" or whatever it's called.  "reflection"?
 
I look into the mirror
and all I find is green
(stretching) as far as I/the eye can see
green grass, green trees, green everywhere it'll be
yet/but there's no room for me
my face doesn't appear
in that land of green/fantasy
/reflecting back at me
and the space behind me
fills, gray concrete/rock
shattered windows
broken glass
weary people trudging home
and the only green I see
is growing in cracks
in the sidewalk
where did that world go?
lost between/underneath/beneath the dreary expressions
on those faces
they once knew
but no longer
tragedy,
lost beneath debris
(forgotten memories)
populate the sky
will it be
a forgotten memory?
