The Reflection

I see a lost puppy.
Roaming around
Searching for answers
To questions
That we're unsolved.

I see a dying flame
Loosing its fire
Because its held on so long
But now it has to let go.

I see an infant.
Clueless of its surroundings
Seeming to block out everything
That didn't satisfy them.

I see a broken record.
Torn and unusable
Unloved by anyone
Useless now
Having no control over itself.

I see a piece of foil.
Stretched thin,
Frail and fragile,
Seeming as if it were strong,
But can't stop a tear.

I see a tiger.
Proud and strong,
Able to run away,
From fear,
Because it knows,
It can't stop to face it.

I see a tissue.
Used past its purpose,
Thrown away,
Couldn't be used for anything else,
As if it was useless,

I see a deer.
Prancing through forests,
Believing in its own strength,
Never knowing its weakness,
Until its dead.

I see a girl.
A girl I recognize well,
Insecure but still standing,
On two feet,
I thought knew her,
But the reflection knows her better.

Wow! I actually read all of your poems before I typed all these comments! I love your style and I must agree that you wrote great free verses. It is very refreshing to read and I must say that you make great impressions! Your poems tells very dramatic stories that is understandable and relatable. I especially love this one, as well as your poems 'The boy' and 'Light'. You capture my heart. I truly felt your words. :)

Great job on another deep poem! The best part is that I'm reading other people's poetry, that isn't sing songy with excessive rhyming.

Thank you so much for reading my Poem! And I agree, sometimes you just need a break from rhyming and rhythmic pieces.
