My Own Reflection Poem by Derrick Andrews

This feeling,
My suffering,
Not healing,
Just muffling,
My cries,
Of sorrow,
Dry eyes,
Tomorrow-

Will be,
Depressing,
For me,
Regressing,
Again,
This pain,
Won't mend,
Disdain,
Won't end,
I must,
Pretend,
To be happy again,

Repressed regression,
Unyielding pain,
Depressed retention,
Nonexistent gain,

Useless thoughts,
False solutions,
Permanent knots,
Undeserved retribution

So lonely,
So cold,
I'm only,
Fool's gold,
Fake jewels,
False reward,
Biased rules,
Can't afford,

To be nice,
To be sane,
Tried it twice,
With no gain,

I've proven to be,
Truly evil inside,
This is the true me,
There's no need to hide...
