Paper Mirror

A Poem by jessicamarie19

She is broken
She is healing
She is drama
She is feeling
She is cracking
She is mourning
She is priceless
She is scorning
She is young
Or she is growing
She is telling
She is showing
She is many things
To many eyes
An instant change
Without disguise
She is seeing
She is blind
She is yours
But never mine
For she exists
Within these lines
And she is strengthened
In their rhyme
And you are calling
To her soul
Or you are doubting
Her control
You’re a cynic
Or a reader
Or a fan
Or a believer
You’re a stumble
Or a mimic
Or a regular
Or a critic
But the fact is
All the meaning
Is a result
Of what you’re seeing
It’s not the writer
That you’re reading
But your own heart
That is beating
She is words
But you are mirror
And on these pages
Both are clearer
Raw emotion �"
Poet’s perfection
But meaning is always
Reader’s reflection

Seems I'm not the only one who loved this! *laughs*
It's quite a powerful piece and one that I enjoy as both a reader (the flow is fun, I indulged in a few rereads) and fellow writer(the message is one that sticks).

I -love- that part especially. So talented! I can't wait to read more from you.

What a powerful rhythm and rhyme! This simply begs to be read aloud.. shouted louder and louder as it vibrates thoughts across our mindscapes.

How simplistically inherent and evolved, a raw stripped poem that begs tp be read, well done, good job.

Fantastic!

all said in one quick breath, you let it all gush out. I love the assertiveness, the point, the power. Excellent. Well done, new friend!

I feel empowered, ready for my day. :)

ur perfectly right, of course jessica marie. we do read and reflect from our own view. i think the best thing that we can do as writers is to induce the reader to relate to our words in their way. wondewrful write. thanks.

It’s not the writer

But your own heart
That is beating
