Thoughts of My Reflection

Speaks for itself

Sitting down, staring at my reflection,

Why do I see a stranger looking back at me?

Stressed from inaction, let me backtrack,

My thoughts moving so rapidly,

See snapshots of my past where everyone’s together happily,

Still my demons snap at me, telling me to make the same mistakes,

But how much pains it take to change, then keep up with the change of pace,

My brain’s at stake,

I’m sane, just waiting for these chains to break,

They say the game is fake,

But its not a game, still I’m sick of blaming fate,

From all this strain I shake,

Im so drained I can’t contain my hate,

Its aimed at fakes, snitches,

And i’m ripping those that came for rape,

And all the pedophiles that always seem to get a bible,

You want forgiveness for your sins?

Hold up, let me get my rifle,

I almost never smile, because I’m sick of hypocrites,

I hope they slit their wrists--

S**t, I’m just sick of this,

Vindictiveness,

This s**t, It’s just ridiculous,

Its grows inside me, holds me, smiling,

While I’m moving, aimless, all across the island,

Very deep indeed moving and relatable, I'm sure allot of people have these same feelings, I know I do when it comes to what you said about paedophiles and rapist and stuff.
This was written with a passion a passion for what you believe in and stand for, this was a strong emotion filled piece.
I really enjoyed reading this.
Keep writing always :)

A hard world to understand. We teach our children the golden rules and fight our neighbor.
"I almost never smile, because I’m sick of hypocrites,
I hope they slit their wrists--
S**t, I’m just sick of this,
Vindictiveness,"
Many naysayers and liars. I believe the good folks must teach the children well and hope. They can do better than we did. Thank you for the excellent poetry. Made me think this morning.

There is a lot going on in this! From the questions of self growth, acknowledgement of things that keep us bound to old behaviors...and an anger for the world we all live in. I like the pace and the rhyming is just enough to keep it going but doesn't distract from the content. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
