Poet In The Jar Diaries: Mirror Image

Monday, December 22

Mirror Image

Where's my silhouette,
that I used to chase after?
Where's the mirror image
I used to seek?
Is there nothing here to reflect me now,
is there nothing of value to keep?
I can't on my own stand for all that I am,
without what's reflecting me
I see myself in the drops of the rain,
but it doesn't encourage me
I need to know my shadow is here,
that at least in that sense I am free
I'll follow your mirror image,
til I find my own one to be.

For Dust And Memories

My Poetic Intentions

My world is like a glass jar that isolates me from the rest of the world, and the glass is the cover that life has placed on my eyes. Inside it I am the poet who hasn't decided whether the lid should be opened or closed - if reality should be welcomed inside, or if madness should be let out.

I'm Poet in the Jar. I've had this blog going since 2007 and use it to post and store poetry, lyrics and random, spontaneous thoughts on life and everything that comes along with it.
