mirror

I glance at you as if you can give me hope

I glance and glance

But this is a never ending dance

Just hand me the rope

I sigh at you knowing all that we have been through

Such a pretty face they all say

hidden scars,and much more to hind at the end of the day

I glance toward you

As if your opinion matters...(it secretly is the only hurtful one)

As if you could end my pain

As if you don't mock me,again...and ....again

Hand me the razor blades...im done

I glance toward you,aim my fists

cracks.....shatters

missing pieces...blood splatters

losing blood from my wrist

this reflection leaving me with hate,anger,pain

leaving me empty and hollow

bite back the tears...swallow

just to play this same game

tomorrow...

leaving me hollow

oh how this reflection eats at me...

how this reflection wont leave me be...

Wow!! micky!!!! This is so good. You have brought these words so much to life with unexpressed emotion. The secret is in the simplicity, raw and unadorned passion. Love this, micky, this is poetry, dark and foreboding but soooooooo gooooood!!! alf

it's difficult to hate reflection, they fade away only to return.

[micky]

Thank you Mayank

Yes, it is depressing, yet true sometimes. Do not believe it, as the mirror lies. I like your work here, and many the creative process starts from a place of darkness, only to hopefully lead one out of the jungle to the safety of some warm oasis yet unseen. Keep doing what your doing, as writing is most cathartic to myself, and likely to you as well. I wish you peace.

Your most welcome. Thank you for being the very first person to review ANY of my writing on this page as well. My review of your work is the truth, nothing more, and nothing less.

And, uh, I hope this isn't too true. You have a beautiful soul!! You mustn't hate yourself! But I understand, when I was a teenager, I would hate to look in the mirror!

[micky]

You have described perfectly the words most of us feel when people think they know us better than they actually do. Sometimes it is great to just break the mold and just be us. :D

Thank you for your kind words :)

the nerve to stare

as the reflection.

This is a very powerful, raw honesty write...i can understand that feeling of looking in the mirror and not liking what is reflecting back.
You are beautiful inside and out those are the words you need to let in and stay!
