Who am I?

by LockedInEternity   Apr 4, 2006


I look in the mirror,

Expecting to see.

A brand new reflection,

Of what just might be me.

I expect to see something,

Behind those brown eyes,

But they just stare back,

While my soul slowly dies.

I try to look harder.

I try to look through,

But those brown eyes rebound me.

I wish that they knew.

I want to find out,

Who's this person I see.

Who's this girl in the mirror,

That pretends to be me.

Who's this girl with a smile,

When there's someone around?

Yet inside her soul breaks,

And nobody has found.

Who's this girl, breaking free?

She's inside and I know,

But when I try to find her,

She's nowhere to show.

Why she hides, I can't say.

Why she cries, why she aches.

Why she sits by the mirror,

While her hurting heart breaks.

What's her life but two sides?

Her eye's sometimes reveal,

All the agony in her,

That she really feels.

Why I look in the mirror,

Only I truly know.

Why I try to see past me,

Where my eyes really go.

I expect to see something,

Behind those brown eyes,

But they just stare back,

While my soul slowly dies.

What am I, but a half?

I'm broken in two.

A part of me locked in,

And it cries to break through.

Still my eyes lock me out.

How I try to get in.

All the pain I'd release,

But the barrier wins.

Just in case, I still look,

In the mirror and wait.

For my eyes to reveal,

All that pain, all that hate.

**It's kinda long..but i'd still really appreciate if you would vote and comment..i'll return the favor=)

    Again, Another chanting flow, I truely liked this piece. The spacing of the lines had a great effect. To me this poem wasn't long what so ever because I didn't get bored and feel as if I wished this poem hurried up and ended. From start to finish you had me enchanted with this piece. Well done. ~mel
