    The Way I Use To Be

    The way I use to be is a greater man than now.
    For I use to be real happy, now all I am is a clown.

    Inside, and out I put on this real big show.
    To show all who and what I am, but there is no external glow.

    Fake laughter, fake smile, fake everything I do.
    I look at myself in the mirror, and ask what has become of you.

    I take a look at old pictures, and ask myself what I see.
    Is that I use to be a great person, and thats the way I use to be.

    This piece leaves me wanting more. I would have loved it to be longer and more descriptive. Nice work, though.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
