The Mirror

by Tracy D Rollings   Jun 12, 2007


I look in the mirror
nothing has really changed
can't understand all this
everything is so strange.

Trying to figure out
where my life turned
why I'm feeling pain
guess I did get burned.

Scar left for all
want to take a look
keep it in your mind
even read it in a book.

Torture I got free
misery always nearby me
heartache I didn't know
fear I did show.

Love you never gave
your heart was cold
loneliness because my friend
it stays till I'm old.

I really need a friend
share my feeling with
talk about old times
memories of being a kid.

Things I never did
but always wanted too
unfortunately they never happened
all because of you.

Your days of drinking
where always so bad
lead me to thinking
wished i had a dad.

Living with a drunk
made life a hell
punched in the face
to watch it swell.

Little or no food
left in this house
nothing will ever survive
not even a mouse.

I hate to see night
because you'll soon be here
you walking through that door
is always my biggest fear.

Pain you infected so well
came to you with ease
made you feel like a man
to hear me beg please.©2007 Tracydr42

    Being gay and suffering depression sometimes I feel a little persecuted or self pity. Then I talk to an old man who had his arm blown off in Korea (but is still positive), and see your posts about your abusive experience. I know you must have scares.... but there you are trying to help others and it just lifts me, Thankyou.

    I just read these poems and think no, no, no its so wrong someone went through this. Your poems always evoke such emotions that they must be so painful to remember and write about. Glad you do though, your poems are brilliant and i imagine give a little hope to anyone suffering. Such a sad poem that shows how all bullies are cowards. Excellent piece.
