Whom will they accept, whom will they like?
The person in the mirror and myself aren’t alike
Everyone knows this stranger I see lying in the glass
But him and I were never a part of the same class
The days go by like weeks, and the weeks like years
There’s no real way to describe the pain inside my tears
Anymore I stand in front of the mirror for hours on end
Trying to figure out who I see…no longer can I pretend
They say I’m a great guy; they’ll always be by my side
They don’t know so many emotions ago the real me died
They love this man in the glass; but I’m not even sure who he is
One thing I know, these aren’t my friends instead they’re friends of his
It’s been so long, every day I forget more about the real me
I wish I could just forget about him and let myself be free!
It was fun at first being someone that everyone cared for
But now showing people the real me is a thought I abhor
It’s so much harder than it seems erasing the fictitious me
Pretending for so many years, with everyone else I start to agree
Maybe this is really who I am, not just a fictitious shell
Any more it seems my retentiveness has gone straight to hell
Today I went to look in the mirror but no one was there
It was so strange I saw no reflection…nothing but air
I stare at the mirror, seeing nothing but my creation
Forever will I be locked inside my lifeless desolation
I’ll never gain control, I’ve hidden the real me for so long…
I no longer know who I am even the distant memory’s gone...

Your poems are filled to the brim with hurt and pain and feeling, which makes them materpieces of writing, I am so sorry that you feel this way when you look in the mirror, I feel the same when I look there, I do not know the person staring back sometimes
takecare

Wonderful job! I loved this poem. I fully understand how you feel. And I know we're not the only two people. You did a great job expressing your feelings. Keep up the good work, and I'm here if it means anything..

I used to feel this way long ago. There will come a time you will know that reflection again, Time will heal if you let it.
Another excellent poem, your truly an asset to ypdc!!

Whoa! Military... This was so breath-takingly bittersweet. The person you describe, the person thats hiding really showed through this poem. You are an excellent writer and I hope to see more very very soon.

Resonative. I like the ethereal vampirical notion used with the mirror. Well-rhymed and rhythmic - I like it a lot.
Thanks for writing. |
