Introspection

I’m looking through myself
To the other side of me
The side that holds all of the things
I tried hard not to see
I see the many patterns
All programmed to repeat
Created by lies
Forming ties
To spell out my defeat
I’ll  have to make a change
If one step at a time
The only thing I think is strange
Is I thought I was fine
But now I understand
And I see a little clearer
Maybe now ill see a better man
When looking in the mirror
Objective introspection
I delve a little deeper
Till I can look at my reflection
And say “That man’s a keeper.”
