Mark J. Halliday Poet Rhyme

The Mirror Doesn'T Delude

Who’s that old guy in the mirror?
That cannot be this young guy here!
I don’t remember growing old,
Gaining weight, and feeling the cold.
Seems that time has gotten away from me, I fear.

Casarah Nance September 2, 2014 at 5:54 PM Well done, I've seen a few takes on this theme already and yours hits reality the hardest. Aging is a reflection that is the hardest to face, I understand that one. Good luck in the contest Mark :)
