Face To Face

An image of myself I stare How you’ve grown, Oh how you’ve changed Those Ideals you swung taunt me You’re something pure and innocent Novel to the world and acquitted of its sin While I am anchored in its seas I stand abashed to say that I am you Our eyes meet in only but retention In this realm where you remain the same While I am Soiled, I hold you dear As a reflection that I may embody once again.

Ronny, I find this conversation with yourself fascinating. You find the good and the not so good but still accept the person you are. I really enjoyed the depth of thought that went into this and will try talking to myself for there is much needing to be straightened out! Luv, Lizzie
