An Idea of Me
If I could only be what is in there eyes
Here I am all of me
Everyone’s view so high
There’s not much to see
A meager and happy beginning
We didn’t need much in life
Honor, loyalty, diligence, these three things
Only monetary strife
Every challenge overcome in stride
Bending circumstance to my will
Leader in peripheral alone inside
Smile for the camera but where is my pill
Outrunning others, God given talents in my eyes
A picture in my mind moves through my hand
A cameras shutter awards stacked high
An ideal existence had to be divinely planned
Such are ideas of me
Those known and just met
Attraction to what they see
So handsome a pet
An empty mirror stands in front of me
I can not look in his eyes
Searching for what I could be
Living life’s lies
I gave of my true self once upon a time
And heightened once again the idea of me
All is lost in my heart and mind
My true reflection shattered by an idea of she
Now I sit wet frosted air fingers stiff
Gazing into the darkness aching to see
On top this desolate cliff
Searching within for this idea of me
