AN IMAGE OF ONES-SELF
The dew,
In the mirror.
Are the memories,
Which I fear.
All though,
Instead of clearing.
The resemblance,
Is smearing.
Though the image,
I see.
I know,
To be me.
It is troubling,
Not to see.
The man,
I wanted to be.
So as denial,
It sets in.
I wipe,
Yet again.
As my image,
I start to hate.
I know not,
How to clean the slate.
And untill,
I can.
I'm forced to resemble,
This other man.
Leaving me,
In a blinding haze.
As if traped,
In an endless maze.
