Reflection of Deformed Me
Unaware of life ahead tough
Youth captured in a photograph
Ambition beamed behind framed glass
Promised future a life of class
Nothing less would define enough.
Through scorching time I travelled far
Dragging life with burnt dreams’ deep scar
In twilight dust up the mountain
Distant from peak still I remain
Failed life from dust can’t uncover.
When time for the sun to set came
Looked at memory in glass frame
Dusk's grey dust tarnished the picture
False promise suffered the rupture
Reflects deformed me as I am.
