PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I look in the mirror and what do I see

This face reflecting back can’t possible be me

When I look at myself, I don’t see

The man someday I thought I’d be

Somewhere along the line I slipped off track

And now I can’t seem to get back

I don’t know where I went wrong

But this life I’m living I don’t belong

I never could quite seem to learn

In times of trouble where to turn

And I’ve never been so unsure before

As my doubts compound more and more

But with all that’s at stake

I guess I’ve got to make my own break

And so until then

I’ll sit and wonder when

And look in the mirror and see

A face and a life I still wish didn’t belong to me
