Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

I Miss Me

I Miss Me

I’ve changed through the years
As life as thrown me many curves
I’ve been bounced back and worth
Which has worked on my nerves

Often I’ve walked away from the person
I’ve been most of my life
Gone are the carefree days
Stress has gotten me with a knife

Who I am in the mirror
At times I’m not quite sure
Who I was, and who I am
Battles me like a war

Have I let the world inside?
Have I lost that inner peace?
This tower of strength I once was
Now the demons feast

I’d traded strength for weakness
Temptation has called my name
Yet I know wrong from right
But I play it like a game

Traded my soul for money
Valued processions that I have
Out in front my conscience leads
Yet my hands can not quite grab

I miss simpler days
When the right road was clear to see
But when I honestly look back
What I miss the most is me
