Reflection Poem by Courtney Steele

I don't cry often when I do it is serious sometimes my soul cries when no one seems to be hearing me,
Often I am delirious and quite mysterious leaves your mind in awe and my thoughts are deep within,
No need to pretend but as I look around I am in search of a friend,


I see people as well their disguise the pain, the hurt, and the fakeness that comes with their lies,
Ignorance I despise and I often bypass the truth it is easy to judge another now take a look at you,
How long has it been since I reviewed myself?



Unconscienciously, I detect flaws in everyone else maybe I need help or maybe I need to be more self aware,
If I see my own imperfections then to me everyone else would disappear,
All I hear is hatred all I see is violence I never say a word I often suffer in silence,
It hurts to withhold it is better to endure unsure of my future it is so unclear!
