No More..

Down goes the mirror

Broken, shattered on the floor

Hatred runs through my veins

Going outside soaking in the rain

Lost is the word I so desperately wish to say

Yet that reflection stands in my way

Finally broken of that capturing spell

Having my voice to actually get to tell

Moving on with who I feel is me

Cause that reflection in the mirror is the girl I use to be.

Wonderful use of metaphor to illuminate a moment of conflict that so many of us experience. To look directly at our selves takes courage. Sometimes our reflection and our perception of it can be distorted by the burdens that we carry. Keep looking and keep writing.

Thank you so much and yeah well I've been trying for a lot time to look at that old me and finally I could so I wanted to write it out

You have used the metaphor of the' mirror' well. So many times we seem to hate who we sometimes think we were. But I am comforted by knowing that life is a learning curve, and we learn by our mistakes. Someone once told me that the 'trick 'is to forgive that 'old self'. And I think the first move is, as you say in your clever poem, is to shatter that old mirror (image) I look forward to reading more of your poems.

[Angel]

Well, thank you. I appreciate that and yeah I heard it's easier to forgive then forget.

I'm assuming you've changed in ways you don't want to. I believe everyone goes through that. Reality can suck.

[Angel]

Yeah.. but all I can really do is suck it up and keep pushing forward.
