Looking back I was pretty
Looking back I was fine
Aways looking back
Never in the now
Always in the when
Once upon a time
Was always my best
Why I couldn't see
Time as it was
To accept myself
In the present
Never to see myself... only a reflection in time!

I really like the idea behind this poem. I have a friend who recently sent me some pictures she had of us in high school (a very long time ago). I remember thinking I was really fat back then, but I look at the pictures and I'd kill to look that good now! Looking at ourselves NOW and seeing ourselves as we really are instead of how we'd like to be some day - when we may already be there - is something we all need to learn.
Well done. Good luck in the contest. celtic queen -

you got it!!!
Thanks for your comments on Looking Back. You understood what the meaning was behind it. I also wish I could have seen myself how I was instead of always never liking myself at the time. Looking at old picture's of yourself you think wow I wasn't as bad as I thought at that time so maybe I'm not as bad as I think I am now!
