Faced With a Mirror

In the face of the mirror
I am never perfect, I am never beautiful
you say people would kill to look like me
Well I'd like to see them try
Being beautiful is never enough
when there are bullet holes in your heart.
The inevitability of aging
is quite painful
Everyday my eyes grow more tired.
We are all naturally doomed.
I am about to give up, to give in
What I hold dear
because I can't seem to be me anymore
when everyone wants a piece to claim as their own.
Take what you want, I'm burning to the ground.
Maybe you'll be happy with your fashion statement
of someone that you aren't.

I've always found these type of topic poems very interesting. Most of us think that people view us, the way we view ourselves. In truth, that isn't so. But, for the most part, we never really know how others truly view us, unless by chance we hear.
Your poem has a narcissism feel to it, and yet, at the same time I could feel your doubts.
I thought it was remarkable to read and to think on.
Hang in there, don't give up and although beauty has its importance, personality outshines the mirror.
I liked your poem.
