I stare at you,
and you stare back
I hate what I see,
yet still I look
At my reflection
Two years later
I stare once more
Nothing has changed
I still hate what I see
I hate who I am
And I hate my reflection
Another year goes
and I feel trapped in time
Nothing gets better
Those were all lies
I hate how my eyes
Are covered in black
And my lips are cracked
Grinning back in my reflection
It seems no matter how often
I find a new mirror
I never seem different
It doesn't get better
My reflection remains the same
Maybe this means
It's not my reflection
That's wrong with me.
Poems about mirrors often freak me out, lol, but this is more about self-actualization, which is cool :D In a way, the mirrors could be a symbol for different relationships, though I don't think that's how you meant it. Anyway, very awesome :3
