Mirrored Life

Swallow it all then spit it back out.
Try so hard not to scream and shout.
^^^
makes me think of all the lies people will tell you try and make you feel better. but turns out they were just "tolerating" you. therefore you try and tolerate them by not ripping their face off.

Been kept up inside me for so long.
Nothing remaining that can go wrong.
^^^
Its like the dread of what happened lingers on you. And you try to not do anything wrong...but then, eventually your alone. so nothing can go wrong.

Life was so hard, now it's a breeze.
Feeling like a sailor on the seven seas.
^^^
Drama is gone, you're alone. Giving you time to think about things...as you travel the barren seas...

The world had stopped, but again starts turning.
Remembering what it's like to have a yearning.
^^^
As if you remember something from your past. That suddenly makes you want to live again...but your still unsure what to do.

Life's begun anew and the slate has been cleared.
Is this what it's like on the other side of the mirror?
There is another side of life, just like I always knew.
No longer seeing it from that God forsaken view.
^^^
you try again...from a new prospective

Maybe now I'll trip on some small piece of contentment.
And I'll finally learn to drop my own resentment
^^^
I like this last line. it's bitter sweet. and calming.

I didn't really critique it...those were just my thoughts of the poem...you probably knew that but yeah
I really liked the poem
