Look at me and tell me what you see
I see a face, a mouth and untoned skin
Wait take a look again!!
Tell me what you see,
I see unhappiness and sadness
I see some determination and hadness
Anger and gladness
Can you look inside me and tell where I went wrong?
Where in life do I belong?
Am I suppose to be a toned, wealth model with great success?
A mother, a mentor, a role model to him and nothing but the best?
To offer anyone and anything in my life
To be what I want and look the way I should,
Instead my mirror is cracked and unbearable
I must stand up, fix it and make it clearer!
I must be able to stand in front and face my Mirror!

Posted by Pez 2008-01-30 15:29:00 Good. Akk! I hate mirrors!... well, most of the time... sometimes I look in the mirror and stroke my ego a few times, just to keep it alive... But this poem is more than physical appearances, it's your "YOU"... it does make one think... Oi, I'm getting a headache, and now I'm disappointed in myself; maybe you shouldn't think of it too much. + Report this comment

Mirrors can distort reality or make it more beautiful than it really is. You're a talented writer, keep up the good work! + Report this comment
