Who is this man in the mirror.

Who is this man in the mirror.

A Poem by A.G Franke
"

this is basically about my inner battle of battle of disicption of depression. (ignore garmmer and spelling) I did't spend much time on this, and hey let's face it that part is always gonna suck! =)

"

Who is this man in the mirror?

This can't be me, no this can't be me?

So who is this man with eyes blood-shot.

He's looks so down, he looks like he's been though a lot.

But he should be happy for he has it so good.

At least the man in the mirror's reflection should.

But still I ask you, who are you man in the mirror?

The bags under your eyes are so enormous it's insane.

But believe me, oi can fell your, feel your pain.

I see your head rock as if to an Eminem beat.

You've been down before, but know you can't seem to get up on your feet.

As you listen to the lyrics of the song "don't let um say you ain't beeuuttiiifulll."

If you won't tell me who you are, tell me why you are so sad.

Go on, tell me, let me hear your confession.

You have so much happiness, yet you chose depression.

Why? Oh why is this the path you choose?

SO TELL ME WHY AND TELL ME WHO THE HELL YOU ARE!!!!

But yet, you choose to be quiet and unhappy still.

Maybe if you won't tell me your tell my 9mill!!

For your image is starting to reflect on me.

For my real self I can no longer see.

I hate you so much, for agonizing me as if it is your fun.

I can't take it any more, no I can't take it any more.

As I raise up and fire my gun.

Over and over again but your won't die!!

I can't take it anymore! I break down, I cry!!

For now I know who your are, you are me...your are me dark side.

for now I can't get away, no I can't hide.

Now you've ruined my happiness, messed with my gullible head.

I put the gun towards myself....and fire....

now where both dead.....

But now I'm falling.....falling....fallling....and suddenly wake up,

For it was only a dream.

But now I am happy, happy as can be.

For I know if I'm not, depression will destroy me.

it shows the battle, the fight with depression and how it seems nearly impossible for the sufferer to end it..I liked the ending as well.

Dear Coyote,

Please accept my deepest empathy during this hard time in life. I agree with you too people need help. Rest assured while I do get down at time it's not this bad. Thanks for the review. Stay strong in the Lord during this hard time.

Last week a family friend killed himself. To me he was a kid at 38 years old. I know him and his family for 30 plus years. He left no note and no reasons. Old world is getting harder. We need to listen to friends and family. Have a open door for people who need a warm bed and a kind voice. Your poem tell a true story for many. I get tire and pissed off. I look at my wife and family. I try to stay positive. The ending was interesting. The words are true.
"But now I am happy, happy as can be.
For I know if I'm not, depression will destroy me.'
A very strong poem. People need help.
