    "I looked into life's mirror and I saw you
    A perfect reflection of me
    Fitting together flawlessly
    Inseparable were we

    I didn't see life coming
    I just saw a boy in black
    I had no knowledge of what he had begun
    Slowly my reflection changed
    Bit by bit I lost you, the reflection in my mirror hazy
    But I had hope"

    I think the first two stanza's were a GREAT way to open your poem. They captured me almost immediately. Almost everyone has a poem about looking into a mirror (even i have one) so sometimes it gets pretty boring to read over the same idea again and again.. I think you did a fantastic job though!

    Your use of imagery made it great for me to understand the self-struggle "you" were going through in this piece. I really liked the way you wrote this!

    5/5
