I'm facing you
For another day.
Your facade hides truth
And the undying pain
That's under the skin
And deep within
That lies with the sin
That you can't forgive.
I'm facing you once again
Though I don't want to,
Since you're like the rest of them
Who don't want me to get through.
I look upon my reflection,
And I break the mirror of perception
Leaving a lasting impression,
As I start taking the right direction
Away from the lies
That I've believed about myself;
Away from the nights
That loneliness was all I felt.

Away From You
I'm facing you
For another day.
Your facade hides truth
And the undying pain
That's under the skin
And deep within
That lies with the sin
That you can't forgive.
I'm facing you once again
Though I don't want to,
Since you're like the rest of them
Who don't want me to get through.
I look upon my reflection,
And I break the mirror of perception
Leaving a lasting impression,
As I start taking the right direction
Away from the lies
That I've believed about myself;
Away from the nights
That loneliness was all I felt.

Jen,
This was a very good poem. I am going to be blunt, please dont take offense. In my opinion this is not your best, but I did enjoy it. You are an amazing writer. Please never stop writing!

Everyone needs to reach that awakening sooner or later. Turn the corner and realize the better person within that is you.

I disagree with Les. I think this is a truly great piece of work, expressed deeply and so well.
Only a talented writer can express themselves in such a way as u do. A splendid poem with a deep lasting impression.
Well done, Jen.
Hugs,
Sue |

Brilliant the ending was just wow so perfect.
This was written rather simply but
sometimes those have more appeal that one
written with a poetic flair or whatever you want
to call it. Yeah and the ending to this was just
awesome.

This one was at 99 reads and it ticked me off, so I hopefully made it an even 100 :P
But anyways, diving right into the subject matter, are you taking what you said here to heart? It's an important fact of life, and this is a topic I remember touching upon myself. The mirror idea was pretty good, although I've seen it a bunch of times, I dont think anybody ends up shattering their mirror to move on in their writes. Either I have to congratulate you on the originality, or I have to read more poetry. If you could write a story with this kind of subject matter and message, I just might call you an obvious optimist :)
If you wanted to nitpick about the write (and if you care to edit it in any way), might I suggest using a capital "M" and "P" when talking about the mirror of perception, just to personify it a bit and give it a little more character.
But anyways, what's important is that I liked the write.
...and that the post should be at an even 100 reads, because if it's not it's going to tick me off (I think I watch too many episodes of Monk...) |
