I’m looking at myself in the mirror,
It’s looking like a fine gentleman.
Staring at it just to see it clearer,
Looks like I’m the one who’s a man.
I only lived a life of twenty years,
But there’s so much ahead of me.
My parents traded everything for fears,
Fearing that my birth mother left me deadly.
But I say that I’m living a good life,
My life isn’t a life of desperation.
Look I am glad I’m not taken like a thief,
Just to be thankful for my humble salvation.
This is everything I am,
I am a man of many things well.
I just can’t think of a plan,
I hope you’re doing just swell.
I reek of ADHD and Bipolar Disorder,
I am a freak of inhumanly kind.
Pleading with the Lord my truest lover,
Just to break free of chains no kid.
Everything I am inside,
I’ve got everything I’ve wanted.
My life isn’t a place to hide,
Just to be dead somewhere unfounded.
Unkindness and I’m just fine,
Just look at me I’m a monster.
Breaking frees of my chained prison,
Just to unleash my inner warrior.
I praise God and Jesus for their goodness,
I just can’t even thank them both enough.
As I look to the Heavens,
I’ve become my life like I live it rough.

The rhyming and organization of the poem flowed really well. It really felt like there was a beat and a rhythm to it. If I were to make a suggestion I would say in a couple places it seems like you stretched the meaning a little bit in order to maintain the rhyming pattern. In other words, some of the words rhymed with each other but the meaning of the verse was not terribly clear.
