“Finding My Reflection”




“Finding My Reflection”
 by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.

I
I painted my picture
Filled it with shadows
Cast it in blue and white and grey
Till they all added to a different shade

II
That of me in the darkness
And that of me in the light
Always in constant battle
No one emerging just quite right

III
I saw myself
In my creation
A mocking image
Of what I intended to be

IV
I painted my picture
And breathed life unto it
Not knowing of my possibilities
And the monster I let live

V
That of me in constant shift
From evil and good
Casting out a different persona

With all my varying moods.
