Look In The Mirror

by Krista   Jan 8, 2009


Take my hand and follow me to the mirror,
see the girl staring back at us?
The one with the haunting blue eyes
devoid of thoughts, emotion?
Let me tell you her story,
then you will know who she is.

She felt so alone here.
No friends for comfort,
nobody to turn to.
She would mask the frown with a smile,
hiding the pain she held inside.
Acting happy for family and friends,
but inside she was fighting a war.

Another year goes by,
with nobody to notice
her pain and depression.
Questions of feelings,
shooed away as if nothign was wrong,
but she looks away with teary eyes.

You know her story,
only one of the many.
Tell me who she is,
that girl in the mirror?
To tell you the truth,
that girl is me.

    Looking into a mirror only shows you what you are looking for only backwards of what you want. you look for happiness, but it only shows grief.

    The first step in changing is admitting you have a problem, to call things by their name.
    When you feel lonely, you are out of touch with yourself. Once you accept yourself as you are, you will attract people that suit you and your needs, it is a rule of life:) *hugs*

    Good poem, btw;)

    5/5 Ingrid

    The poem was very good, but the "That girl is me" or "was me", seems to be a little over used. You don't always have to have a conclusion at the end. The reader will probably know what you're talking about. I really love the beginning though. The emotions were amazing! I'm looking forward to reading more, 4/5!

    ^^for some reason that was my favorite line : ) i loved the words you picked they were perfect! : )

    my best friend has depression and i feel so bad for her i mean its not something you are in control of but i tell her this: life is unpredictable but thats what makes it fun you never know whats around the corner sometimes it hurts you and makes you cry but other times it is so much more than you could have EVER wished for or expected so dance to your own rhythm : ) you dont know where it will take you but you will have fun getting there

    i hope you feel better or win this battle : ) beautiful words 5/5
