first poem ive published anywhwere.

I am not my own person.
I look into the mirror and I see my father's face.
The consequences of my actions of my mother same mistakes.
Her want to love but his talent to hate.
My voice my body my heart like hers.
My want to do good only to get hurt.
My nose my eyes my hair like his
My anger bottled up and my clinched fist.
Her impulsive actions like drugs and guys.
He's drinking problem that was causing him to die.
They are both one person that I turned out to be, one that keeps me up unable to sleep.
I try and think of who I resemble more,
But they are both equally a part of me deep in my core.
I hate the way she disappears
And how he was never there.
I look Into the mirror, cant do anything but stare.
I see him and I see her
Two people whose past is a blur.
Thinking it was love
But their problems in the way
She wanted to leave,
He was begging her to stay.
I hate who I am and who i've become.
I started running a long time ago.
Never knew what from.
Now I can't stop running from every problem that I find.
I choose not to face the fact that I am playing with my time.
