Reflections Poem by Nick Kler

Who is that?
looking so scared
Peeping through
my window pane

Oh, It's just a perception
Of my youthful reflection
Wary of my ego and deceit
Looking for me
out on the streets

All of my sins
have come together
Asking of me
The reasons for my actions
Sipping on some wine
In the middle
of this bright moonlit night

Tumbling and tossing
to the ground
My diminutive reflection
is scared and confined
I know it all so well
Their reasons
for creating this hell

They are asking
from me to repay
With the remainder
of my days

They keep me up all night
So, I try to sleep
When the sun comes out

I know it so very well
I might not ever sleep
As the nights pass me by
I sit and I deplete

This is how I must repay
For those past distant days
