If cynical were currency, I would be one of the riches men on the planet, but that's neither here nor there. I am a product of where I have been as it relates to where I believe I should be heading. I am a father, a husband, a friend, a brother, a son and many other things. If you wish, take a little time to know me for yourself...
squinted eyes, glaring, peering, or just looking
inwardly and not really seeing me
and sometimes there is a little more ****** hair
just maybe i will take the time to shave or at least trim
enough to be presentable
every morning i look in the mirror
darkened eyes, with deep circles of worry and stress
questioning not only my life choices but even my very sanity
just what i need, more acne, pimples, black heads
what happened to this going away after the last signs
of puberty faded from my voice
every morning i look in the mirror
twisted smile half convincing more than knowing
where i have been and what i have gone through
where is my toothbrush and toothpaste
its not like i can blame someone for moving them
i am the only who uses this bathroom now
every morning i look in the mirror
tired eyes half closed and open just enough to see the light
as sunshine creeps in from the window
and you know its time, to wash the sleep from them
and face yet another day in her world
knowing understanding realizing
every morning she looks in the mirror too
