I saw you in the mirror
Looking back at me
I wondered who you really were
What was it you could see?

I smile knowing you would do the same
i look away hoping to escape your deathly stare
but my attempt to escape you was made in vain
i spun around & where ever i looked you were there

i sit down breathing deeply thinking what to do
i look up and i see you sitting down mocking me
i stand up slowly thinking, thinking it all through
all i want is for you to leave and me to be free

i walk away you follow me always there next to me
i look ahead and see grass and not another mirror
i run towards it and smile as i escape my worst enemy
i look back at the nothingness and in my dream i shiver

Taking a drag and watching the world through tired eyes

your poems are always so deep, i liked this one

Life is not a matter of destiny, but a matter of choice.
