Mirror

Another poem from The High Poet

 

Mirror

 

So much hurt, too hard to bear

Sitting with my head down on my chair

Hide it well with a smile

Always have to wait a while

It's too hard to live like this

Always hiding behind my bliss

Sadness engulfs every ounce of my being

Everyone sees me but are they really seeing?

The Pain I hide and hold so dear

Try not to look at myself in the mirror

For if I do, I don't like what I see

The man in the mirror staring back at me

Another dark rhyme

... it's beautiful ... the lines are simple yet electrifying ... one feels like one is caught between the devil and the deep sea ... can't express and can't suppress ... you do a brilliant job of depicting that with such ease and skill ... this is an amazing verse ... i'll always remember it ...

I really liked this one. It had a dark, yet very real touch to it. Rhymes were all perfect. Nicely written.

much like my own poem called "The Mirror"
we see in ourselves what we hope others don't see,we see what we became,but not what made us this way or what's inside our souls

[Tina Kline]

It's not fun feeling invisible and not wanting to look in the mirror because of what you might see. Great job on this.

[Jade (insanity)]

Great job,
Jade

This was truly a nightmare. I could feel the fear.
Excellent depictions.

Dark, but true, and divine. Your poetry opens you up, and puts the truth on the table. It's hard for most people to admit their feelings to other. I do it all the time. People say that if you hold it in you'll crack.... but I haven't experienced that. Sometimes it's better to be numb, you know?
