Description
Looking in the mirror
With a mask on my face
I look in the mirror
Reflecting back disgrace
I look in the mirror
At a face I can't take
Such a fake existence
Of a person I can't make
Of lessons not learned
Of prayers not asked
Hide back in myself
Put back on the mask
Fake smiles
Fake belief
Fake happiness
Fake relief
Fake friends
That never last
Fake presence
Fake past
Fake with all
That I have to give
Does that mean
A fake life that I live?
And fake attempt
When I try?
... And fake death
When I die??
Thank you for looking and for your comments.

........ i don't know... have to let this one get to me first... but it touches me... a lot...
Strong piece yo...its always toughest to look within...the picture is not always pretty. But to balance that thought, we usually are our own toughest critic. At least speaking for myself. peace yo! -jay
We are indeed our own toughest critic, we judge ourselves and beat ourselves up FAR more harshly than we would usually ever dream of doing towards anyone else. We see ourselves through the filtering haze of a cloud we carry around with us, a cloud made of life's hard knocks and society's shallow judgements and ideals, made by ourselves with the "help" of others over the years. Seen through this tainting filter that denies everything, it's all too easy to be SO mistaken about ourselves... but yet to one day come to realise that fact, at whatever point in life it proves itself. That day can come. If your life was as fake as you'd have yourself believe, you'd have no respect from those such as Bev and myself and others who have a very different perception of you from what your own appears to be, and can come to like you for it. I promise I'm not just saying things to make you feel better as I know it'll take one hell of a lot more than this.
We all wear masks out there but more destructive still are the masks we wear when we look at ourselves, the mirror in the shattered mind always lies..... whatever you may think & feel Yo this is an a great piece of work that captivates & moves me.
Many have said that you can't change your past but it's not quite true... you can change it by thinking about it dufferently. It's all how we see it. :-) You never fail moving my emotions and the few brain cells I have, with your images! This is so filled with intellectual emotions that it's hard to me to take my eys off it. A great work of art again.
After all said above I can just agree. Excellent and moving piece as always.
you used to create much stronger images in the past, but the poem is really good
