My Mirror

 My Mirror

Who is the person looking back at me?

Her soft hazel eyes now tinged with tears

Is this who I want to be?

This stranger looking back at me?

The girl filled with fears?

 

She taunts me, my reflection

She carries the same looks as I

The make-up covered complexion

The fake, popular affection

The dead hair straightened to perfection

And you can tell she wants to cry

But it’s hidden under all the lies

 

However, she doesn’t carry the worries I do

The stress that leaves me depressed

The days I have to muddle through

And the emotional pains that infest

She doesn’t need to worry about those things

Because she’s only my reflection

 

My vision is clearer

My goals are nearer

 However I still hold envy

Over my mirror

"When will my reflection show who I am inside?"--Mulan
This is such a great topic! The poem is beautiful and the meaning is complicated and different to every reader, which contradicts the simplicity to it. I loved every line.

Hmm I love this poem....It is eloquent and flows beautifully......I can relate completely...I like how you have separated your reflection from your inner self - Spectacular poem, love it!

Yes, this one is definitely written well. You had a smooth rhythm that made the lines appear as if they were always meant to be put together in that combination. The words themselves were quite meaningful but also very easy to relate to as well.
On the other hand, the emotions in this poem were nonstop, and I loved every second of it. You clearly diplayed the true differences between yourself and your reflection...differences that people usually wouldn't pick up on or maybe even choose to ignore. I thought your idea was wonderful.
The last stanza really got to me, i thought it was great how you ended it, "However i still hold envy, over my mirror," is just a great set to include as it adds final thoughts but yet puts a twist because you partly answer the question you had asked earlier.
Maybe it's just the way people look at it, I bet we all see it differently, just like we all have our own reflection...right?

This is amazing. I love the rhyme you added which picked me up and brought me through the poem and its meaning. Keep it up!
