part 2

I gaze into the mirror.. All I see is me.. It doesn't really matter.. I am not who I seem to be.. My eyes to me look hollow.. My skin has lost its glow.. My face looks somehow sunken.. I have lost myself.. I know. No one is happy with who I am.. They all want me to be,. As I seem... To live up to all expectations.. To abolish selfish dreams.. They don't feel the guilt I have.. They don't know how hard I try.. They only see what they want.. They only see the lie.. And even when I scream the truth.. I AM DOING THE BEST THAT I CAN!! It doesn't seem to be heard.. Failure has no friends.. If only I could change.. Like a mystic magic dream.. Keep everything inside of me... To abolish selfish dreams..

you are loved beyond measure...unique and one of a kind...perhaps choosing a life with much suffering...but that only allows you to be you!

I don't know of any dreams that are selfish. More like self-ful.
Good poem, expressed with angst.
