The girl in the mirror

by Bibbitt CSI537   Mar 9, 2006


At school I am normal,
I am loved as well
But when I get home it's my natural hell

In the bathroom,
the door is closed
And I hate what the girl in the mirror shows

The extra baggage
the cushion the fat
Everything in my life seems to revolve around that

I look at this girl
and all that I see
Is the obese, dumb, ugly part of me

I see my curves my rolls
my extra skin
Everyone cares about the body im in

Not my personality,
my thoughts, or my fears
Whenever I think about it, it brings me to tears

I hold over my head this fake
innocent smile
If you read me right you might see my denial

But shhh...keep quiet...no one can know
we must not allow my true feelings to show

I hide it away
like its a bad dream
But the girl in the mirror wont cease to scream

I stand there and watch her
rip out her hair
And show me the truth that i wish wasnt there

    This poem took my breath away, honestly. you have pure talent. And if this poem is written from your own personal life, then my heart goes out to you. every girl looks at themselves and sees all the flaws. Its natural, but you must undertsnad that if YOU think your beautiful, then You are beautiful! great poem. I want to read more

    Great poem
    Written with great emotion. I think the poem could be set up alittle more better because it cuts off the flow of it.
    Im not saying to change you poem but I have changed the setup of it and maybe you can take in a few things that I have done..

    At school I am normal
    I am loved as well
    When I get home it's my natural hell

    In the bathroom,
    the door is closed
    I hate what the girl in the mirror shows

    The extra baggage the cushion the fat
    Everything in my life seems
    to revolve around that

    I look at this girl and all that I see
    Is the obese, dumb, ugly part of me
    I see my curves my rolls my extra skin

    Everyone cares about the body Im in
    Not my personality nor
    my thoughts, or my fears

    Whenever I think about it, it brings me to tears

    I hold over my head,
    this fake innocent smile
    If you read me right you might see my denial

    But shhh,keep quiet no one can know
    we must not allow
    my true feelings to show

    I hide it away like its a bad dream
    The girl in this mirror
    wont cease to scream

    Stand there and watch
    Watch her rip out her hair
    show me the truth, what i wish
    wasnt there

    I hope that helps. I dont mean to change it but I think it would help alot if you divided the poem up more.

    Your a great writier though it got my attention and made me want to read it!
