Disguised Victory Poem by Jaycee Wilkerson

Day in day out
I look for ways out
No luck leaves me
Stuck to indoor
A trendy paycheck
Keeps me lured

But luring is crippling
I know the answer is discipline
Staying focus helps
With the emptiness

Time pasting
Makes reality set faster
I might not ever leave this place
Which turns my thoughts to grief
Looking in the mirror for signs of me
Seeing rest in peace thoughts

Because my ambition have deceased
Masked to the world with a smile
But what Im seeing in this mirror
Has been around for a while

Sickening myself facing
What I have become
Realizing Im trapped in a situation
Something has to be done

The lifestyle I live
People think I have already won
With the mental wars in my head
I stare in this mirror and realize
I have yet to begin.........
