Reflection In the Mirror

Who is this man in the mirror,looking back at me.

searching for some answers and wantig to be free.

Asking with his eyes,the words he cannot say.

Wondering why his life is turning out this way.

Is it that hes so confused with who i really am.

And is he fighting futaly against mt selfish plans.

Why dont i know this person looking back at me,and why

is it from him i hide & run from constantly.Numbing all my

feelings with all the dope i take,trying to forget all the bad choices that i make.

doing self destuctive things not caring if he dies,Hes trapped in my delutions

and decieved by all my lies.can he escape this life i keep him in to me theres no way put.

or should i set him free and get to know what hes about.By stopping  my destuctive ways
maybe then i`ll see and recognize this person looking back at me
