ETS Realized

As our Army sentences draw to a close
I find myself returning full circle
To a place different from my origin
You and I are not who we planned to be
Did we become who we were supposed to be?
I search my pockets for a shield
And pulling out a mirror, I examine
Myself (too closely?)
After all, me, myself and I have to live together
In a very small room
Can anyone else fit?
TURNING MY MIRROR TO YOU
I CAN BARELY SEE A SHADOW.
When I reach out my arms
Will a stranger walk in?
When I speak, will you turn your ears in?
When you speak, will I still understand?
I may turn and run -- scared
You may not show.
