My memory is becoming foggier,
the harder I try to remember.
Like I’m breathing on a mirror,
trying to get close to my reflection
but only achieve on breathing
white clouds
onto my own face
on the other side of the
Glass Barrier
that keeps
Memories
separate
from life.
Have I lost sight
Of where I’m going?
Or just lost
Where I want to be?

Definately don't lose confidence in your self. I agree about the whole imagery thing, plus it's deep and brings up points that i think are valid in almost everyone's life.

The imagery in this is so... intense; I suppose that's the word I'm looking for, but it still seems lacking.

I can see the poem, does that make sense?

I really can't belive no one else has commented on this by now...
