I look in the mirror <br />And what do I see <br />A reflection of someone else <br />Staring out at me <br />I see someone I used to know <br />Someone who used to be me <br />As I look in the mirror <br />That’s what I see <br /> <br />One drink led to another <br />A drunkard I became <br />Now my poor family <br />Are looked on with shame <br />Empty bottles fill every corner <br />Money I have none <br />My wife and children go hungry <br />As I crawl around the floor <br /> <br />As the days grew longer <br />The worse I became <br />Bottle followed bottle <br />Perfecting my shame <br />I yelled and I shouted <br />Strange things did I see <br />But none were more stranger <br />Than a reflection of me<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/look-in-the-mirror-3/
