Mirror, Mirror

by Daylight Lucidity   Apr 26, 2013


Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who's the darkest of them all?

Mirror, mirror, before my eyes
Do I truly need this disguise?

Mirror, mirror, shattered and deceiving
Is this poison that I am breathing?

I look at my reflection, the me that isn't me,
Her eyes are bloodshot and suspiciously wet
Screaming, bleeding, crying, feeling,
Might that mean I have a heart yet?
My knuckles bear the wounds of war
Against this vicious, atrocious, piece of trash
Oh mirror, mirror, on the wall, did you see me die before?
I throw it on the ground with a piercing crash.
Lies, lies, my love ravaged by deception and betrayal
Can no one see the havoc inside?
Can no one see the fear and withdrawal?
I'm just another girl with problems, so I bitterly hide.
All I have left of my pathetic self
Is this reflection-
One that needs help...
One that is a weak, unrealistic, wench!

So, tell me, mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the scariest of them all?

Mirror, mirror, before my eyes
Can no one hear my pleas and cries?

Mirror, mirror, shattered and deceiving
Who is that girl who is grieving?

    I love this poem because its definitely an eye catcher as the title drew me in!

    The first two lines are so dark and emotional. But so great. Who is the darkest one of all which mean you don't like the person you see. I think we all feel this way though. We dislike ourselves so we masquarade thr person we want to see inside. As you say do I needthis disguise? SSometimes we feel the mirror is our worst enemy like there is a monster inside of us. That monster is depression no doubt making us feel so mentally unstable. I love the poison line because it truly is. We feel sad and its poison to our health.

    I love the eyes are wet line as we don't even know why we cry at all sometimes. Yessss does that mean I havea heart yet is a perfect line bbecause sometimes we need to feel something even sadness to even see if we are still alive. Your knuckles are scar laced from the battles you have been fighting with yourself. No one can truly know what you feel inside but the way you destroyed your mirror because it seems like you needed something to help your insides. I love the emotions you portray you have to hide sometimes though. Its hard to show your true feelings to anyone.

    You are the girl who is grieving. I love the poem as it holds so many elements of dark and sadnrss. 5/5
