I spent a while this morning, looking in the mirror
the person staring back at me, made me cringe in horror
who are you who are we, how much you have changed
the person who i think i am has been rearranged.
not just the extra lines, although they are there
life as i knew it is dead it just seems so unfair
the empty eyes stare at me,dead blank and blinking
who are you, what have you lost, that got me thinking
its not the cancer that has caused it,that is just bad luck
lost love has made you like you've been hit by a truck
So off ill go to the shops searching for a cure
serums creams and potions, to get back my allure
I could get drunk,see a film or go on a little trip
groom a horse, or walk a dog, or sail on a ship
now i have tried all that there should be an improvement
all i have to do now is check out how much movement
I spent a while this morning, looking in the mirror
the person staring back at me, made me cringe in horror

Sometimes we look around and wander how did we missed all the loud changes around and in us.
Great write. How beautifully you have painted one person successfully as two different people.
Thanks for sharing. |

Dead life resides in me as well.
Searching for a cure... is there one? Maybe a haircut and a dye job, but that won't bring it back to the way it was. I have no power to do that, the red heel clicks don't work.
Nice job - you're not the only person who cringes at themselves.
Thanks for posting. |

Actually they are in the process of developing a pill that activates the bodies own antibodies to seek out and destroy the cancer ridden cells.
But, for the poem. It made me sad, I liked it, one and only complaint is rhyming mirror and horror, I know Mirror is hard to rhyme, and you found a good soft rhyme. |
