Reflect

by stillmomsgirl   Jun 26, 2008


I stare at
my reflection
I want it
to bleed
I want it
to feel
the satisfaction
as the blade
breaks skin
I want it
to weep
crimson tears
and realize
it will
never
be enough

My reflection
stares
back at me
it wants me
to feel
the satisfaction
of knowing
I made it
one more day
it wants me
to throw
the blade away
and realize
I have
-always-
been enough

    I liked the truth-ness to it. The ending sort of made me think of this poem as like those inspirational songs and stuff. It's nice how you kept the reality in it. Good work.

    A very nice ending! I like how it starts out sad but ends with a thoughtful hopeful outlook. And the very last thought, "I have -always- been enough" was well put because the emphasis was perfect, especially with the way you highlighted the word always and made it stand out. Good job!
