Mirror

by kiara   Nov 21, 2011


Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the most pathetic of them all?
The girl that carries a fake smile everyday?
Or the one you see hiding behind the daze?

Pathetic is the one that fakes who she is
And even the one that's underneath the skin
This reflection is useless when you can't understand
Who is the one directly starring at hand

Black hair, brown eyes, a beauty to behold
But even you see those scars untold
Stupid refractions that just plays a trick
Showing you nothing but a fake vision

Can't stand this image shows nothing at all
Except for a pretty face that happened by default
It doesn't show the girl who lives inside
This pitiful girl that scatters and hides

She is in there, always there
Her identity she doesn't share
This stupid mirror just shows what can be seen
Laughing at the battle I'm having within

Makes complete mockery at what I seek
Because it knows I don't really want to see
That being that lives crawling within
The creature I fear for and cringe

So mirror, mirror on the wall
May I ask this question so small?
Who do you think is most pathetic?
The girl you see? or the one that's hidden?

    I love the message your poem conveys.

    The first two lines need to be corrected...you wrote "he" instead of 'the' on the first line and on the second line you have to eliminated the 'r' at the end of the line.

    One thing thought that I would like to advise you on, to make your subsequent poems better, is for you to make use of your punctuations, so that the reader will know when to pause or stop. This will help the reader to get the mood of your piece.

    Overall though, you conveyed your message. Good job.
