The Broken Mirror

Malkavian Tribute. I am a fan of these demented fools. They are misunderstood, and egnimatic.

 

Your mind is a mirror

To look into it is to see ones self

Society made this mirror

It allows you to see what’s ahead

Through reflection your image in another mirror

I have a broken mirror

It allows me to see in different angles

But I cannot see ahead

This mirror cannot reflect properly

Showing different bits and pieces

 

Author's Note

This is part 1 of a working poem. Giving credit to White Wolf for the concept.

I really like the metaphor here - a mind as a mirror that, when broken, can show you different angles of what's really going on. My only two critiques would be that you use the word "mirror" quite a lot for such a short poem, so perhaps you should substitute a simile like "reflective surface" so that one word doesn't dominate your poem. Also, the word "ones" should have an apostrophe before the "s." Well done.

A mirror in shards is the corrupt being of my empire's corruption... Your mirror inspires... Even I... so lost, am inspired deeply by you, my friend.

I like it, its deep, I love deep emotional poems! So far so good, keep writing (-:

I like this one. I like the whole idea of using a mirror as a way to describe the mind of others and yourself.
