Mirror Not For Me, But My Sister

This mirror is not for me

It does and shouldn't belong

To me.

This is for a girl of pure beauty

A girl who is strong and corageous

Trustworthy to themselves and others.

This mirror belongs to my sister

I stole it from her purse

As I look at my reflection

I feel anger and regret

For I have lied to her and everyone else.

Pretending her beauty mirror was my own.

When it is not mine to hold.

This mirror is for pure beauty

Which I am not made of.

mirror mirror on the wall,
who is the fairest of them all...?

[West of Everyone]

This poem and the one before, they both bring out a strong emotion. An emotion felt, perhaps too often. These poems have brought out the emotions that I turn away from and push down deeper into my soul so they may not surface. Your poetry, yet again has dug into my soul and extracted my suppressed feelings, and that is what in my mind makes a great work of art.

I know that your poetry comes from emotion, as does mine, and that is what I think makes me like your poetry even more. Anyone can write about frivilous things, but to bare your emotion to your readers...it takes courage. Courage that I am glad you have found.

It is good to see you writing again. :)

This is wonderful! It would make an excellent gift. Its straight forward but gripping and full of emotion.
Great job!
