I Look

I look in the mirror
But all I see is a stranger
I look inside myself
But all I see is pain, anger
I look at the world outside my door
But all I see is death,danger
I look to the future
But still I am haunted by the past
Why can’t I look past yesterday,
Find a love that will last
I look at my son,don’t understand
Where has the time gone
My little boy is almost a man
I look to the sky,wonder why
Some are judged by their race or creed
I look to GOD for truth,my heart needs
But what I find,makes my soul bleed
Sometimes I wonder
As I look to the heavens
When it rains, thunders
Is GOD crying because he’s sad
Because the world is so messed up or
Is he mad,
Just taking a bathroom beak on us
Because he’s pissed-off, had enough
Sometimes I wonder, want to know
What it looks like
Looking though GOD’S window.

Wow thats a really good poem you have there. I think this really expresses the emotions of many humans about life as it is now. It’s so sad though that life has so many horrible things in it (I’ve learned this young). The last three lines were so funny :D!

The poem is finely rhymed, Having nice meaning, But at last beauty is maimed, As certain words need cleaning.

this is sooooo true, most of us feel this way at some time or other in our lives. i suppose we have to try and focus on the positives although its difficult at times. very well written. i know i have read a good poem when it touches me and gives me goose pimples, this one has certainly done that :)

god bless
gabrielle
