In the mirror What do I see A man A boy Trying to be Pretending he is A man. I see a Drunk Holding his baby His Jack Taking swig After swig Reeking of his manly desire His passion His addiction His demise His killer Killing him Slowly By the day By the moment. I see puff puff Another cigarette Smoke filled air Coughing Choking Inhaling Aging by addiction Wishful eyes Saying I won't die Or will I? I see Nothing I am nothing Just a bum Never made me Into anything Never amounted To much But A poor slob. I see Empty Dead dreams From when I was young I was going to be Something And get out of here But then I had alittle Jack And alittle more And a cigarette And threw my life away For the foolish addictions.
