Mirror

A Poem by queensonvia

I see you there
And don't think I have forgotten
You
Behind that wall of ice
Freezing to the touch
I haven't ever
Not even once
Erased you from my memory
I don't have to
You are always there
Watching me
Judging me
Even avoiding me as I avoid you
You are my twin
My sometimes ugly 
My sometimes beautiful
My sometimes ecstatic
My sometimes melancholy
And you could say
My always ever-changing
I want to pull you from that frigid grip
Wrap my arms around you
Absorb your cold
Give to you my heat
Just hold you 
Forever embrace you
So you never have to feel that brutal chill again
And tell you
The one thing
You've been waiting to hear...
You ARE beautiful.
And maybe someday I'll be able to.
When I actually believe it.

This is wonderful! I've always wanted to write a poem like this as well. The idea you portray here is magnificent. Being able to talk to and interact with the self we see in the mirror is awesome. I like how you have such short lines; they drive the point home even more, especially those single lines that stand on their own.

Remember that YOU have to start telling yourself that you ARE beautiful before you will even be close to believing it. Besides, I'm sure you have other people who will help you believe it :)

Oh wow.........now this is reality. Love it. We all need to come to a point where we love ourselves and know that every single one of us is beautiful.

Your poem was incredible, and defiantly true. This is something I've always thought of but never thought to write about it although I see it was an excellent topic to write about. I pretty much loved your whole poem but these lines are what moved me most "And tell you The one thing You've been waiting to hear... You ARE beautiful." and the line where you said
"You are my twin
My sometimes ugly 
My sometimes beautiful
My sometimes ecstatic
My sometimes melancholy
And you can say
My always ever-changing"
They are so realistic.

Anyway keep writing your amazing at it. :) Also good luck in the future.

Howdy ya'll :) I'm Sonova and I am quite an interesting person to say the least. I honestly don't write that much because I'm mainly an artist. I pretty much only write when I really feel it. more..
