The Mirror

So many faces
looked out from my mirror
all wanting answers
to the life I have led.

Some of them dreamers
some true believers
some wanting demons
to lay and to rest.

But I am a dreamer
sometimes a believer
I danced with demons,
did I do my best?

This reminds me of Michaels, "Man in the Mirror." I like poems that make me stop and think. Well done.
