Vision ***** Thru Mirror For A Twin 'Me'- Shameful Revelation Poem by Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan

I want to reveal something about
what i had realized to be valid for me
though it is not yet valid for everyone

it concerns about my disposition
either establishing own business
or going abroad as therapist

both of which I abandoned
when college teaching application
and writing book career
became my retrieved passion

something deeply hidden
withing myself and I must be acquianted
again with this hidden activity
and this should be ponder in my heart

writing career for me is a mere
reflections of my past and future
and my desire to teach Political Science
seems a long lost ability waiting
to be refined

so why should i gamble these lifetime treasures
for becoming an OFW hero or being a local
enterpreneur in which they are not in line
of my noble calling......

I can look straight at the mirror at last
with pride and firm decision
as I can see myself no longer
a young fellow striving to be
nor an innocent one full of curiosity
but I see a man of my dreams
a man of my visions
a man of humility
learn how to accept things that are really
meant for me....


(but a half-year later, this self-image mirror
had been broken into pieces when global recession
affecting local economy pushing me to swallow
my pride and shame by grabbing great opportunity's
abroad for the sake of greener pasture)
