Andy DW Poet Rhyme

The mirror

The image staring back is me
A look that was once not free
The pain buried behind the burning eyes
To this day silent cries

History displayed across my face
A person needing a warm embrace 
Each wrinkles tells a different story 
An action and mental inventory 

Each grey hair that appears
Has come with hurt and tears
The hair line slowly moving back
A constant reminder too unpack 

The tiredness showing under the eyes
The memories of being told what to despise 
The freckles on my fair skin
Likened to her and him

A smile that doesn’t quite reach 
Always told I was a leech 
What looks back at me
Is not someone who is proud to be

What stares back in the reflection 
Feels the full force of rejection 
Someone who is hard to love
Thanks to those 2 who rest above 

Damaged beyond repair
The past present and future of a spare
