Reflection

Look into the mirror
the early morning
see what you are
not what you want to be

when you realise
you are not what you want
but what you where made
are we choosing
to jump from the trees
cause we think we can fly?

while we ponder over the obvious
we might wonder why we even thought we could change
cause all we can
is to change the same mask
every time we look in that mirror

FreeMindedPoet, as i reflect on your poem and it's assertion that we cannot change, i am brought to the diverging conclusions that you are right...and wrong. In a certain sense yes, we are forever locked into who we are, by genetics etc., but in another fundamental sense, we are not, as the wasteful life can turn to bare fruit, and apathy can be transformed to caring. Thanks for an insightful write. ;-)

Interesting reflection. We can create ourselves though,
