when I look in the mirror
I don't always like what I see
because I see a reflection of me
I ask myself is this really who I am
people tell me to love myself for who I am
but I hope you know I'm not my biggest fan
I probably made 600 wrongs for every 1 right
and how often do I try to pick a fight
is this really me
it once was not
where will I go
my life is tied in a knot
I'm deseatfull and I lie
and truly that's not all
but then again those who say they love me
don't know me at all
Sorry, one more bit to add, if that's ok.
I believe that the 'self' is not the individual body or mind but that aspect within each of us
that knows the truth.
Am i making sense?

I like it Amberlee. Quite intense.
There's a lot of struggle I see, searching, probing.
Perhaps the defining moment will come when you find your true purpose?
Interesting journey!

I love it. The poem is very realistic about the human condition.
Raj, I actually belief that self doesn't necessarily know the truth but is always in search of truth. Self is not complete on it's own. It needs truth to free it from inferior complexes. As a Christian, I believe self needs Christ, the way, the truth and life, to really blossom and be as fruitful as can be.
