The Poet in the MIrror
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
The Poet in the Mirror
There I am in reflection found
A pictured story , temporarily bound
Escaping the frenzies and anxiety attacks ,
That help me deal with those frivolous facts.
Gifted intellect is drawn from me near ,
Emotional anxiety , breeds to the fear ...
Of never knowing what to expect ,
When twists and turns do magnify wrecks
So there I am choosing , what I shall see
When thoughts and expressions , realize me
Confusion leaves , notions become clearer
To be the best Man , I can , in the Mirror
