Listen to poem:
Reflection
Is it stress or distressing diet
or is it dehydration?
Am I doing enough
to recreate myself each day?
Sometimes I close my eyes
and see what I do not wish to see.
Do I hear what I do not wish to hear?
Feel what I do not wish to feel?
It could have been a lack of sleep last night
or something creeping within my inner mind.
I’m told to visit my doctor, but I find him weird.
Or am I merely glancing into that mirror?
