It seems that everywhere I go
I am already there << Well said! LOL!

True, you can outrun your troubles if they are inside your own head. Good poem to express this insight! :)

Lovely and impressive descriptive wording and photo too. Rhyming is done well. Love the color scheme, set-up and fancy writing of words. God Bless, Deb

Trying to run away from me
Is done only ineffectively. . .given the preceding lines, I was hoping the running away is only done. . .reflectively...

outside of that nonsense, this was a very good poem

I love the concept Debbie, and try to practice it all the time. Loved the lines: Looking into the still lake, I quickly do a double-take. However, I would love to see those lines written naturally, just like above, without the interference of the need to capitalize the first letter of each line. Great, insightful and thoughtful piece.

    My computer automatically capitalizes the first letter of each line. I go back and change it sometimes. I should probably remember to do so. Thank you, my friend. Hugs~Debbie

So true, Debbie. We can't run away from ourselves or our reflections, which I find even show up through our children and grandchildren.
Nice work with the rhyme and meter, and a good message.

Hugs,
Lois

This poem speaks a lot of truth.

Even though people have tried many times, it is impossible to run away from oneself.

Therefore, the only thing they can do is to make sure the person they truthfully see in the mirror, is the one they want to be.

Thanks for sharing this. JW

Oh, dear do I detect a little melancholia! For every valley there is a mountain! I do hope you will be ok! If you didn't have these moments, we wouldn't get these great poems, tomorrow is another day! During these times I notice there is greater growth within myself! A good write, sound meter, good aabb rhyme scheme. Blessings, Roy.
