Hmm yeah. The mirror image theme seems to be getting more common, it's edging its way into cliche.
You described the beatings quite graphically, and I found myself squinting when I was reading.
So, it was good...just almost cliche.

I wouldn't say this is one of your better poems.
I too, found myself cringing at the graphics.
You seem to be holding A LOT of anger.

Wow, yea I agree, it has the cringe effect. Also pretty sad. But, with all the imagery you provide, it's a great read.
