Reflections are Reflected Then Almost Gone

Reflections are Reflected Then Almost Gone

sometimes i just sit back and watch
what do others see in me?
i am sure i would not always like to know
things i do, often make sense to me
even if they do not, to everybody else
i see people with little bits of me
or do i have little bits of them?
i find myself cringing at their behaviour
it seems so obvious wheni start to cringe
i get good when it is working out
but plans,
are you just trying to work out your dreams
they rarely become concrete things
sometimes i catch a look of intent
of of those, trying to work you out looks
you do that when something seems different
sometimes i take time for others
even when i cannot see where they’re coming from
sometimes i do, sometimes i don’t
reflections are reflected then almost gone
