Mirror Image



     Mirror Image

   At times I see a mirror image of a woman
    And other times I see an image of a stranger,
   Enmeshed in a dream world filled with people
  Whom all seem to love her, but she refuses to let
  them in. Because when she does, it never ends..the abuse!
   Take advantage of mom, let's use her to the very end.
  Make my food for me mom, wash my clothes for me mom,
   Make love to daddy, water the plants, sweep the floor,
  vaccum, drive kids to friends house, go to work, sell
  sell and sell some more. The grind never ends. Poetry
  gets put on the shelf for now, because chores and work
  seem come be first.

  When does mom seem to matter? I guess I'll have to wait
  until next week's episode, or maybe I'll just immerse
  myself in writing again and find another outlet to fill
  my insides with pleasure. Doesn't everyone need pleasureful
  experiences? Certainly, we all do. So why are some people
  less apt to search the pleasure seeking actvities than others?
  Can someone please answer my question? My soul is in need
   of rejuvination. Prayer, quite solitude, a warm hug, a
  nice cup of hot chocolate, a warm bath, a nice message,
   and maybe a little fun under the sheets. That's all I
  may need for now, but it's no where to be found. Alas,
   maybe on the magic road to the Emerald City I may find
  what I am looking for or maybe never!
