Window Pain

You think I'm looking out the window While I view my own reflection Staring at this distorted image Without your eyes detection I'm looking, at this person Who I no longer know I was stronger once Where did that person go? You took him from me Left this Zombie behind You have reshaped me To this person I find I turn from the window I have seen enough The view would've been better My life reflected is too tough

Richard, this is an excellent piece of poetry. It's hard not to change yourself from what you once were. But, people now-a-days try to force it on us. Well done. :O) Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and creative talents with us. We all truly appreciate it. *S* Cynthia

I often thing my reflection in the mirror isn't as clearer as it should be, then I take out the windex give it a good scrub then close the curtains.

Mirrors are rather extrordinary and mystical things. Thanks for the visit Casarah.

Sometimes, it' s really hurting, when someone made us change. But, after all, we weaken and get stronger out of it... And from the window pain, you get a protective window pane. Can't it be? Cheer up, friend. That's life... Excellent write! :)Hanitra

Well, here's life 's unpredictable circumvolutions; almost one year after my comment on your "Window Pain", it's me who's standing here now, with my window panes shaking hard....But, hush, "this old house" has seen much more. God will repair...:) My turn to turn to someone who says "Cheer up, friend"...And the miracle is, you said it! That's what a friend is for! Thanks and Hugs, Hanitra

I like the metaphoric idea in this one..Thanks for stopping by my work..I hope that this is not life but just from an idea that you had from seeing this happen to others..Sara
