Murky Mirror Man

Murky Mirror Man


How ironic

that I have become

all the things
I use to mock
and revile

when I was young
and naive

Not the way
I envisioned I would be

Such is the high price
of conformity

Always settling
for the comfortable
low risk position

A member of 
the obscure
anonymous median

Part of
the muddling majority

Mired in our
stagnant mediocrity  

The nightmare
of settling and
shortchanging
our dreams
