Getting Reflected

Getting Reflected


Mirror mirror
in my face

reflecting
all over the place

These reflections

Visual introspection

I now see 
myself
and my worldly
perceptions

What do I see?

I see a scared
child
pretending
to be a
man

Bluffing and
blustering
my way through
the playground

Desperately
seeking
validation 
from myself
and my society

The crew 
I play to
that views me
as a happy go lucky
clown

Harmless
burn out
fall out
free spirit
refugee from
the 60's

Which I guess
is my projection

so who am I
to blame them
for their
misperceptions?

Mirror mirror
now at my feet

I must stomp
you now
in order to
maintain
my self deceit
