Mirror

Wrote this about myself. Obviously... This is how it came out..

Watching my face drain down the sink.
I see myself in the mirror and start to think.
Is the person in the mirror who I really wanna be?
or is he just another teenage wanna-be?
Is this life I'm living fake or real?
How di I controll all these things hat I feel?
I can't step forward without moving back.
It's hard to keep this life on track.
It's not hard to just give up and quite...
But life is too short to not live.
I'm staring myself in the eyes...
Trying to find truth through so many lies.
There are echos in my brain...
The old familiar empty pain.
Hope I'll be the man I wanna be.
Hope I find the one who'll love me.
Tomarrow is a give that I can't forsake.
I gotta live this life and choose the right paths to take.
So, as I stand here watching myself in the mirror...
Hopefully you all will remember me.

Another mirror poem! I like them - should start a collection. 'Fake or real' and 'stepping forward and moving back' are good themes for a mirror poem - you have capyured the essence. If I had to guess, I'd say you will be the man you want to be - looking in that mirror (of the mind) will get you there.
