Trapped Inside A Mirror

Trapped Inside A Mirror

 

I’m trapped inside a mirror

Reflecting what people want to see

A mirror of emotion

Never who I want to be

No one ever understands

Or truly wants to see

The face behind the mirror

The façade that is me

Interesting concept, that we, as humans, are mirrors, reflecting what people want us to be, rather than reflecting who we truly are. And the concept of the mirror seems so clever for this poem, for is it not a mirror we look into to ensure we are presentable to the outside world, all our personal emotions tucked away and hidden? We make sure to plant that smile and keep our true emotions hidden away. Very well written. Bravi.

Wow, I am speechless.
This is stunning, it's true, it's every single person on Earth. People see what they want to see.

I'll add it to my favs

Short and succinct; yet, your poem displays a multitude of meaning. As others have noted, everyone can relate to this poem. Sometimes, the fewer words written the better, for they are but a net for the river of emotions inbetween. Great job! Keep shining!

[R. L. Ambar]

Very well writter, the subject that i surrounds is one of great matter.

'Reflecting what people want to see'

This is a very strong point that I think everyone can relate to. I know I can. I love the conflict of not being able or willing to show your true feelings. I think we all act through a 'mirror' at times. Good job!

I like this one. Short but to the point and was very clear in your description of emotions.

Good read!

excellently conceived and all too true. We all wear masks because we do not want everone to see us as we are.Only the trusted few
