Reflections of Being Me-
I stand in the mirror
and I see a reflection of me
my dilated pupils liquid brown eyes
fatal eyelashes oval shaped round face
dried out appearance of shadow of myself
turbulance the thought
skins nature's fault
The reflections of being me, this I see
dermatitis sets in this brownish skin
where am I at who is this being
this facial configure it of me
I blink my eyes they blink back
I see what I see
beyond that you to also see
true reflection of the being
but isn't me I see
The reflection of being me, I see
I see myself as myself
my soul is within me
the spirit in the soul twix the body the mind the physical the flesh the bone and marrow
I stand here gazing at myself
while I'm breathing my continuous breath
The reflection of being me, I see
one day I pray you be a witness
to someone else looking at themselves
The reflection of myself can I see being me
Yet still others looking at themselves
