Reflections
What is this I see before me?
A reflection of a man I see?
Or just a man who clings to life,
Battling against mental strife.
No longer the man I used to be,
No resemblance that I see,
Of that person I once was,
I'm a man living a lost cause.
Everything I touch breaks,
Everything I try to make,
Becomes a lesser object,
Something that people reject.,
That's the man I discern.

An unfortunate, but relatable feeling to me...
Thanks for sharing this vulnerable little piece.
If you get a chance, check out some of my poetry as well.
I was having my own down-spell not too long ago.
Perhaps you can relate?

With reflective pieces we often look back at the road that led us here. You laid out that melancholy and pain. There's a lot of weight in those few words.
Thought provoking verse.
