In This Mirror Poem by King Midas

In This Mirror

Rating: 4.8


In this mirror
A timid reflection gazes
Long nights and quick times
Memories patched in hazes

Mistakes without reason
Are lining on my face
I'm everyone's let down
A giant disgrace

A disappointment since birth
These demons so haunting
Fighting transgressions
A task so undaunting

Sometimes the word no
Isn't as good as giving in
A fast fix to ones problems
Is as good as living them

Wrinkles pour down
As they scar my existence
In this mirror so unforgiving
A true life so distant

Trying to catch hold
These things as they bind me
Facing my demons
A past that is blinding

In this mirror..

A long look, one must be careful not to look to long. You begin to see all types of flaws then. Good insight. Patricia
