Eyes on the other man
The man in the mirror
The one who see when you comb your wet hair every morning
"Look within", they said
But what is within?
Broken dreams, strewn around like torn papers
Forbidden deeds and dreadful pasts
Pain from feeling too much or too little
Anger for all the times wasted
Self hate and former glory
Low self esteem and discontent
Questions and no answers
Pain and no outlet
Anger but in no particular direction
Indecisions and hesitancy
Choices made in the heat of the moment, without thought and logic
Consequences, consequences, consequences
A never ending internal struggle
"Then look outward", they said
Pain and suffering
Our deeds of wickedness and cruelty to one another
False prophets and faux love
A rapist today, a governor tomorrow
Wokeism and it's negative impacts
Climate change and war
