A look in the mirror

Contributed by wordsy on Tuesday, 14th January 2003 @ 05:55:00 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

A look in the mirror
and what do you see
just a man in the mirror
looking back at me

There's no one there to lie to
no secerts to conceal
no closet there to hide in
when the fear is all too real

Just a man in the mirror
one who's growing old
reflections of the life he's led
are stories best untold

The lines of woeful sorrow
that scar and mark his face
reveal the fear and horror
that's all too common place

Just a man in the mirror
who cries out in the night
just a man in the mirror
who mourns the dying light

Take a look in the mirror
and what do you see
just a face in the mirror
looking back at me

There's no one there to cry to
no excuses do apply
when the only reason for living
is I don't want to die

The cause is unimportant
as you try and face the day
no use in hunting reasons
they just get in the way

Just a man in the mirror
who's future's still unclear
just a man in the mirror
who's past he hold's so dear

there's no room for tomorrow
when you hold on to yesterday
all that's left is sorrow
when you miss out on today

Fine sense of expression, Wordsy! You hit on some of the subconscious thoughts that occur to others, too. This is one we can relate to. I hope we can all learn to live our todays with appreciation of our blessings, don't you? God's blessings to you. SusieQ

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
