I caught a glimpse of me in a mirror today
A double take, oh yes that's you my dear
Who is that
I don't know
Not anyone I think I know
Years have past, I look older now
That doesn't matter anyhow
Gray hair, wrinkles, a little weight
Lessons learned always too late
I'm good
I'm bad
But so are you
Self reflection that you always knew

This poem was good in its simplicity; I liked the sentiment, the short statement, and the rhyme. A poem doesn't have to be complex in and of itself to express interesting thoughts. Well done and thanks for entering my contest!
