Into The Reflection Poem by Billy Loving

In the mirror, I see
What once was and what could be
Abused for so long, no caring shown
In this world, left all alone
Furrowed brow, angry eyes
This place, I've come to despise
Staring, making not a sound
Not yet ready to be laid beneath the ground
Years have taken their toll
A part of life they have stole
Darkness has not yet taken control
Light left within my soul
Will to continue the fight
Unbroken hope, much to my delight
Still determined as can be
As I sail on through this wind blown sea
Life, still left inside
Through it's many tribulations, I ride
Another passing season
Lost spirit, searching for a reason
Enough introspection for today
Feeling overwhelmed, I look away
