It is human nature to stand in front of the mirror and find faults in the outward appearance. I like this poem. A very well written poem with shades of melancholy, but ending with a positive note. Good luck in the contest! May 2021 be an extraordinary year!

When I look in the mirror, I see smooth skin, and a few laugh lines. When I look at a photograph, I see crow's feet and a turkey neck rolling with wrinkles. I like my mirror. That's the face , at least in my mind, that I will present to the world.

This poem, I See Me, brings the thrust of new commitment to the opening of this brave beginning. We see clearly what is wrong in January; maintaining vision is often the problem.

The photograph looks a lot like most of us feel at the end of this year. Your poem brings out the visuals of this feeling that we have and the hope for a better year.

Ah, Mystery Poet-
I see me (and I don't always like what I see) is a very well developed poem.
"Too many years a jester..
Like a distant ancestor."
Those two paired lines are ones that I think many readers can identify with.
"So many years wasted"
Again, I believe there are many readers that can identify with that thought as well.
When we look back (instead of forward) we can all see areas in our lives or moments in our lives that were wasted or not fulfilled.
The key is..
exactly what you wrote about in your last stanza..
Make a fresh start!
Don't miss the chance to grow and live and change.

I liked your poem very much.
