About This Poem

The Reflection

Promises, I no longer make,
they're much too costly to 
keep.
I'd much rather avoid the 
heartache,
and the tears that I know you 
will weep.
I will no longer subject myself,
to rules that I know I won't 
follow.
Unable to sit on the shelf,
saying words that resound so 
hollow.
I look in the mirror at a man,
there's nowhere for him to 
hide.
His skeletons swept in the 
dustpan,
the closet they no longer 
reside.
The reflection of a man I now 
see,
and to realize that the 
reflection is me.
