Looking in the rearview,
Everything is distorted,What is close? What is far?
What is real? What is not?
Reflecting on my hubris
Thinking it all came from me
Yet knowing there was so much more
Than what my puny eyes could see
On my knees now, no regret
Praying for wisdom on this path
Asking for guidance and a light
To navigate this aftermath
Of my pride and arrogance
Oh, that narcissistic me
Who thought the world was nothing more
Than something to kowtow to me
Not looking in the rearview now
Focused on the views ahead
Trying hard to do things right
And to live with no regret
-- Mirna M. Santiago
