Nothing Lives Through Forever

by Steady Stereotype   Mar 31, 2009


The mirror on the wall
Is just an imitation
The cracks upon it's surface
Just proof of limitation.

It's dusted and dark,
Spiders paint it's side
The dazed gaze it reflected
Show no mercy to reside.

The mirror on the wall,
Is smeared across with dirt
Reflections become distorted
But so real stays it's hurt.

No one's cleaned it in it's years
It finally begins to shatter,
Why oh why is it fear,
The mirror just doesn't matter.

    Great poem, flows extremely well, I read it a few times to try to get the main message that it is portraying. I failed to understand it. Not that it doesn't mean anything, its just I couldn't place its message. maybe you could help!!

    The mirror on the wall

    *Wow...I love how you started this. When you talk about the mirror I think about a person being hurt, to where you can see their pain on the outside as well. I love the imagery*

    It's dusted and dark,
    Spiders paint it's side
    The dazed gaze it reflected
    Show no mercy to reside.

    *The second line was perfect!! Such a creative line. Most of the time people use spiders in a scary way, but the way you describe them on the mirror is very beautiful*

    The mirror on the wall,
    Is smeared across with dirt
    Reflections become distorted
    But so real stays it's hurt.

    *I love that you repeat "the mirror on the wall" Lets me know how important the mirror is. Once again I think about a person here. Hope I'm not understanding this the wrng way. The third line was my favorite. Love your word choice.*

    No one's cleaned it in it's years
    It finally begins to shatter,
    Why oh why is it fear,
    The mirror just doesn't matter.

    *Aww such a sad ending. One thing that bothered me a little was the first line. You don't need "it's". Other then that I felt you did a wonderful job. I love the style and the flow was flawless. You never let me down lol. Keep it up hun. I enjoy your stuff. Nik*

    The best thing about these verses is the depth which they reflect. Fear surely does over shadow lot of things in this life.
