Stranger in the mirror

A broken piece of glass

An unknown reflection on it

Lying hopelessly on the floor beside it

Unkept hair untidy my attire

Gibbering to myself

So many questions maddening curiosity

Cloud my mind drag it into darkness

"Where are my golden days?

Why did you break your promise?"

My eyes meet the stranger staring back at me

From broken piece of mirror

I know I know her but cannot recognize

She smiles and says," what were you looking for?

Fairytales are just bedtime stories!"

The way you ended this piece is simply stunning! I feel we all look for a fairytale, but have trouble finding it the right way. Mirrors can often be a girls worst enemy and it already doesn't help how our gender is expected to do certain things in our society. It sucks that we are looked down upon by so many and by those who don't bother to believe in what we are able to achieve. But it is up to us as individuals to be headstrong and follow our hearts.

Wow! I read this and it is beyond familiar! I have a poem called The Person In The Mirror and it's the same meaning as this! I've related to things before but never this much! So glad you wrote this, it's very well done!

I know you don't see what you're looking for.... do others see it? Maybe what they see is the source of your despair. Glad you found a place to express yourself...be strong...find your voice and yourself.

The soul suffers turmoil along the way. It may happen again, be ready, for the pen to strike again. Keep up the good work!
