The Mirror

2013

Lost in thought of being something. 
Movement alone within a still shot.
Caught awake in some kind of dream. 
Shake the hands of all I'm not.....

These waters and air dried sins. 
Fear of what I could never see. 
Another story was told not to listen, 
what you are, all I can never be.

One day I'll try to sleep. 
Maybe this time I'll use my feet. 
Wander where the shadows creep. 
For myself that I never meet..

I like this poem, I can relate to this so much! Thanks for sharing this!
I just simply love this line because of how true this is today "what you are, all I can never be."
A lot of people can relate to this and that is for sure! Great Work! Keep this up!

Very good use of words and thoughts.
"One day I'll try to sleep.
Maybe this time I'll use my feet.
Wander where the shadows creep.
For myself that I never meet.. "
I liked the above lines and those awake dreams are they true or false places? Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It is a take on some of my experience of when I was a heroin addict, living on the streets out of choice. It was a bad choice for sure, but there was a lot that I learned.
