Trapped in a wish
Trapped in a wish
Looking through dreamers eyes
Oh how can this be
I always told myself
I am as free as the light
Living on my own at last

As I reflect
I begin to discover
I have never truly left my home
I have only moved a few blocks away
Always telling myself
What can not be done
My only reason
I am afraid to try
Shall i drown
In this sea of tears
Only wishing
For the shore to find me
Longing just to long
Forever saying
poor me
When did i decide to give up
When they called me a learning disability
Why did i give up
I always liked the easy way out

Can a reflection change a man
I say yes if a man is what he sees
For i do not see a man at all
Only a child looks back at me
Covering his face with his hands
Trying to hide the fear in his eyes
Through open fingers

Introspective piece here. You ask questions that many think about, but few find the answer to. Your last paragraph really made this poem good.
