Poem;

This life is written.
This life has been determined.
This life is worthless.

This life doesn't ask for forgiveness,
nor does it ask for sympathy or empathy.
This life doesn't deserve what it has,
for there are many others that it can help.

This life will be forgotten.
This life will shed tears.
This life will cause turmoil.

This life watches...
This life watches you in the mirror forevermore.

The ending is self explanatory. If you were to look into a mirror, to see something watching you what would it be? Yourself. So if "This Life" were watching you in a mirror, what would it be? The answer is you. You are "this life".

This poem is very true which is what makes it so sad but that aside it is an awesome poem. The only thing I didn't get the first time I read it was the ending but once I reread it it became perfectly clear. And one other thing was that the last two stanzas(I think I spelt that wrong.) didn't seem to make sense together. The first line in the second to last stanza says "This life wil be forgotten." while the last line says "This life watches you in the mirror forevermore."

You can forget something, while it's still there. They make perfect sense, just you have to see it broad while specific. If that makes sense.
