Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

The Person I See

I stand in front of my mirror
Who is this person I see?
It can't be my reflection
Staring back at me

This person I see is evil
I wouldn't do the things he does
That's not what I've become
That was never who I was

This person I see is greedy
His heart, a hardened stone
He thinks he has a thousand friends
And I am never alone

This person I see thinks he's right
And I am never wrong
He doesn't know where he's going
And I'm where I belong

This person I see is arrogant
But I am better than him
He thinks he has the answers
But I know all of them

I stand in front of my mirror
Who is this person I see?
It can't be my reflection
Could this really be me?
