LIFE'S REFLECTIONS

​

Gazing in the mirror at the

reflection of my face,

I wonder why I often feel

that I am out of place

​

No matter where I've wandered

through out my many years

I never found that safe harbour

to shield me from my fears

​

There's always something missing

I tell the face in the glass

If found would my life have changed

or continued like my past

​

I've stood here many times but it

always remains the same,

I never find the answers

or find anyone to blame

​

How can my life that is so full and

filled with such great friends

Often leave me feeling sad and

lonely at the day's end.

MY CHOICE OR NOT

 

Even though there are

times when I realise

It would be nice to have

someone by my side

​

Those times when I am

all alone at night

I don't understand why

that should be right

 

When I see couples together

who appear to me

To be so miserable now

why should that be

​

Although they are together

whilst I'm alone

Each of them are busy on

their mobile phones

​

That they're not happy must

be clear to one and all

So really why are they

together at all.

​

 If I too had only half

of what is theirs

There'd be someone beside

me to share my cares

 

Is it by chance or choice

that now finds me

Still living all alone and

fancy free

 

However even as these thoughts

run through my head

I remember it’s me who chose

This life I’ve led.
