Standing naked fore the mirror
in the morning light,
I gaze into the polished glass:
Behold amazing sight!
                                
A fountain for emotions here,
a splash of reason there.
A selfish creature looks at me
pretending that he cares.
                                
Knows not the place that he came from
or even why he's here.
Tomorrow is just a dream for him.
Imagine all that fear!
                                
The things he sees, the things he hears...
he believes them to be true.
What should I call this creature here,
genius, liar, fool?
                                
One day he reaches for the stars...
the next, he's lying down.
Don't want the things he needs the most...
I quickly turn around.

"tell it like it is"

A poem with potential, yet lost within itself. Words organized in a passionate way, that leave a message. But can I say the poem is great, of that I speak of feelings and emotion.

Otherwise I feel the plot was lost within the vision and what it was the mirror was reflecting back in its purity.

Made me think and that had to be good !!!

a poet who cares
