My Poems

Before it’s too late

When will I find the person that I need to be?

When will I find the life I need to live?

When I look in the mirror I see myself,

and I don’t like what I see.

Could I be that person that I see?

That person that I see, just can’t be me.

Because he looks so old and worn out.

I ask him “What happened to him?”

He answered. “As time went by People

took and took until my life was drained”

They took and drained the life out of him.

By wanting him to do so much for them.

He told me to be careful and learn from his mistakes

Because there is too much at stake.
