“I Notice Its Me”
By Jason Joel
Disaster waits for me to turn my back
I feel it creeping up against me
Its energy tries to take over my body
While I try to turn my back and see
Its force is enough to affect my senses
By not letting me be
I run I run I look back I see
My reflection looking back at me
I stop and I turn and I find myself looking
Looking back at this energy that's been slowing me down
I notice it's me
