Am I Listening?

• Artist: rosemidnight17
• Description: This poem was written when I was having a inner battle with myself. I didn't know what I wanted in life at the time. I was just lost within myself wandering. When I wrote this poem I didn't know why I had written until about a whole 2 months later I found what my subconscious was trying to say.
  please comment and rate. I look forward to everyone's opion. ^.^

I walk to the edge of the pool.
I look down
And below me I find
An image
But it’s not me.
I don't recognize the person there.
They are disoriented
As if the water had been disturbed.

Then the water is gone.
I see only a white floor.
Above me is a glassy surface.
And looking down at me,
With a confused look on her face
Is me.
I see myself
Reaching out
As if to give a helping hand,
And though I try to push my hand through the surface
I can't.
My other self looks disturbed
And walks away,
Glancing back at me through the pool.
I scream and yell
Hoping to be heard
But I'm not.
My other self seems untroubled again.
So until she notices me
Beneath my glass surface
I am helpless.
