Poem: Confused Reality

I look deep into the eyes of the man in the mirror ...

What is it that i see? ...

I look at my soul and count the scars ...

Wearing each one as to say, "I'm still here!" ...

What is it that you see? ...

High walls that hide what's behind my dark brown eyes ...

They make you wonder what's on the other side ...

I try to talk out loud ...

I hear my voice full of emotion, power, and force ...

Telling you how i feel ...

You listen to what I have to say ...

You  hear my voice full of pain undertoned with fear ...

Dancing around every question like all the times before ...

I reach for whatever is left of my life ...

Holding it together as I move along ...

Never giving up no matter the cost ...

You watch me reach for new life ...

Falling apart as i try to hold on ...

About to reach my breaking point ...

Finally I realize the thin ice I built my life on is about to break ...

Taking everything I care about ...

Within seconds all is to be gone ...

Finally you see my eyes have been opened to the truth ...

I look for you ...

Are you walking away? ...
