Something staring back at me!!!

a peek into our soul

Sometimes I stop just a second

And glance in the looking glass

Esoteric in my eyes, mystified

Do I really  know me?

 

Who am I? Where’s me?

I try to peek into my soul

Just for one second

Do I see hate or Love?

 

I cant go there too long

Because I begin to witness

Someone staring back at me

Is it a preceding life ?

 

Or is it the radical me

Wanting to unchain

To have new adventures

Maybe my wild side

 

Fear suddenly takes hold

I quickly avert away

Not wanting to connect

To the innermost, the soul

i wrote a poem when i was younger called Who am I? and was about the same experience... i really like your poems.. your use of language makes my soul feel warmed with the descriptions

Another really interesting piece where you are staring into yourself. The first stanza is excellent, really liked the way it built up the next parts of the poem. I guess those questions are those we all ask ourselves and I guess we are all too scared to look for too long just in case we see something we can do nothing about.
