Reflection

Every day, we come face-to-face
With what we were and what we are.
As a part of the human race,
We’re taught to hide a scar.
But within me, from the deepest place,
I know that I’ve come far.
I’ve got big dreams to raise the bar because
Every day, when I come face-to-face
With who I was and who I am,
I want to think I lived with grace
But, I’m even better today! Goddamn!

Life does not allow us to redo our mistakes but to live better each new day is motivation for hope. Great job.

A good poem. No need for the one word bad ending?
