Its funny when I stare at my reflection
And see in there all that i could be

A boy and stand and see some other kid
Who never has to make do with hand me downs
And never has to make a scooter go three ways

A teen I see the guy who always knows just what to say
Who wears the right clothes and whoes ears don't stick out
And can always be himself arounf the girls

A man who doesn't walk around all day
Looking for work and drawing his dole
A man who doesn't have to grow up
Who can party all night
And have an education
And always gets it right

I hate my reflection
He doesn't know
He may look just like me
But he's never been where I have been

It hurts when I stare at my reflection
And see in there all that i could be [comments] => 1 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 48 [informant] => somnium [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

great poem, but a little secret, the guy who you think always gets it right, thinks the same thing you do everytime he looks in the mirror

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
